CraftBeerSpot Hathor opens Isekadoya Beer Bourbon Barrel Aged Shadowplay 2024 on 6/29
CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Osaka’s Kyobashi updated its June 29 draft lineup, placing Isekadoya Beer’s Bourbon Barrel Aged Shadowplay 2024 at the center of a board that spans lager, white beer, IPA, and barrel-aged stout.
Hop BroHathor in Kyobashi updated its June 29 tap list, and the headliner is Shadowplay 2024 on tap. Isekadoya's barrel-aged stout is exactly the kind of thing that makes dark-beer fans lean forward.
MugiWhat! That's an absurdly intimidating name! It sounds like a special move. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt starts as a Russian Imperial Stout, then combines aged beers like Shadowplay Imperial Stout and Double Dare in a four-beer blend. They even have the 2025 version too, so you can compare them side by side.
MugiWhoa! But Russian Imperial Stout? What is that, some final-boss summit for beer?
Hop BroBasically, it's a jet-black, rich, higher-alcohol big reward beer. Then bourbon barrel aging layers in vanilla-like notes and woody character from the cask.
MugiNo way, and then toasted coconut, tonka beans, and banana too? That's a full dessert parade!
Hop BroThat's where conditioning comes in. It's a late aroma finish where those extra ingredients infuse the beer and round it out. With the roasted notes and tropical edge, it should be great with Hathor's house-smoked food.
MugiWow, and Hathor has 16 taps, from lagers to IPA? That's way too much range. Their tap list sounds like an all-star roster.
Hop BroExactly. You've got Fresh Pressed Beyond the Pacific, Oni Shibori Lager, Ume White, Neko ni Hiki, and even Brain-Melting Ultra Heaven 3 X IPA. It's a 16-tap spectrum from crisp to outrageous.
MugiThen it's settled! I want smoked bites, a 2024-versus-2025 tasting, and then IPA after that. I want to go now!
Hop BroThat route is correct. Start with a lager, sink into the barrel-aged stout, then let an IPA finish the job. We have to drink this.
