Hop BroToday’s topic is Shikkoku from 808 Brewery pouring at Juso Brewery in Osaka. It’s a guest tap, and dark-beer fans should definitely notice this one.
MugiWait, guest beer means a special one-off outside the usual lineup, right? The name already sounds like a boss battle!
Hop BroExactly. It’s an imperial stout built around coffee and vanilla vibes, and the ABV is 13%, so it should land with serious weight.
MugiWhat even is ABV 13%? That sounds less like a beer and more like a side quest with consequences!
Hop BroABV is the alcohol percentage. With something this big, slow small sips are the move, and as it warms up you catch more aroma and texture changes.
MugiOkay, but imperial stout still sounds like the final boss of dark beer. Am I wrong?
Hop BroNot really. Think of it as a rich dark beer with roasted malt, sweetness, and a long heavy finish you can really sit with.
MugiWow, and with those coffee-and-vanilla notes, that’s basically dessert in a glass. I’d clap if that showed up after dinner.
Hop BroAnd the best part is Juso Brewery is a drop-in beer pub kind of place. You could pair it with food or linger over it later, and now I want one too.
MugiThat settles it. I’m showing up with full dark beer devotion and ordering a careful little pour... or at least pretending to be careful because I want it now!

`Shikkoku` is a beer that reads as a deep, black stout in both name and presentation.

With an ABV of 13%, it is the kind of beer best approached in small pours, letting the aroma open up over time.

Alongside its regular lineup, a release like this gives beer fans a reason to stop in and look for something more serious than an easy-drinking pint.
