Bakushu Shokudo 3F-22 in Sendai’s Futsukamachi district is featuring Kyoto Brewing’s Strong ale, Mangan Kik色.

At 9.0% ABV, the beer offers a rich, full-bodied profile. Its sweetness is reminiscent of dried persimmon and dried figs, followed by a roasted character evocative of caramelized nuts. Cinnamon and clove notes emerge in the finish, adding spice and helping to balance the beer’s depth.

The combination of concentrated fruit-like sweetness, toasted flavors, and a warming spicy finish makes Mangan Kik色 a beer to sip slowly. It could work particularly well as an after-dinner pour, while gradual warming in the glass may allow its layered aromas to open further.
