Hop BroAt the Maihama Local Beer Workshop Roti’s House Ikspiari branch, they’ve released a seasonal limited Valentine Stout. This is definitely in the winter treat category.
MugiWait, Valentine Stout sounds sweet just from the name! But isn’t stout the kind of beer that’s dark, heavy, and something you drink with sheer willpower?
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part: it’s kept at a light 4% range, so it’s much easier to keep drinking than its appearance suggests. It has the toasty aroma of roasted malt, but it’s the kind you can relax into.
MugiOhh! So when they say it has a bitter chocolate aroma, they don’t mean actual chocolate is in it, right?
Hop BroExactly, that’s all about the aroma design. The roasted character from the malt creates a chocolate-like aroma. The key is that it isn’t too sweet.
MugiWhat is that! Saying it goes with both meals and desserts is almost too versatile, isn’t it? Sounds like the kind you can have cake with after dinner!
Hop BroExactly. It can complement the richness of a meal and also pairs well with chocolate desserts. The balance of roasted character is just right, so it doesn’t get in the way of sweetness.
MugiAnd it’s in Ikspiari 4F in Maihama! A drink before the movie, a drink before heading home, the flow is too good!
Hop BroExactly. It’s easy to stop by from JR Maihama Station, and the appeal is that you can enjoy Harvest Moon as the focus inside. It has both local character and the feel of a beer pub.
MugiWow, so this limited release even has limited-edition gift boxes. The 3-bottle and 6-bottle versions sound great for gifts too!
Hop BroThat’s right. It works not only for drinking in the shop but also as a souvenir, and limited items can move fast, so checking stock is important.
MugiAll right, decided! I want to check it early and go after both the beer and the sweets! This has to be delicious!
Hop BroYeah, my head is already full of imagining that first glass. Let’s drink stout in Maihama and think about what to pair it with next.
From Maihama Local Beer Workshop Roti’s House Ikspiari branch (Chefs’ Row, 4F Ikspiari, 1-4 Maihama, Urayasu City, Chiba), here is a seasonal limited-brewed update.
