EIGHT UNDER adds Distant Shores Brewing stout “Saku no Yo”
EIGHT UNDER, a beer pub in Yoga, Setagaya, Tokyo, introduced a new guest beer: “Saku no Yo” stout from Distant Shores Brewing in Higashimurayama, Tokyo. The beer is listed at 8.5% ABV and described as having cocoa-chocolate-like bitterness and sweetness.
Hop BroEIGHT UNDER in Yoga just got Saku no Yoru on tap. It's a guest beer from Distant Shores Brewing, and this is exactly the kind of dark pour that makes stout fans perk up.
MugiWhat, that name sounds intense! Saku no Yoru already feels like something you'd secretly sip after midnight.
Hop BroAnd it's a proper stout pour from Distant Shores Brewing in Higashimurayama, Tokyo, with ABV at 8.5%. It's clearly built for rich, full flavor.
Mugi8.5%!? quiet face, huge power! So it's cute on the surface but secretly a final boss?
Hop BroExactly, but it's not just strong. The key is that cocoa-chocolate bittersweetness, with a roast character that probably keeps it from leaning too sugary.
MugiHold on, what is roast character? Does that mean like toasted bread? Are we accidentally having breakfast?
Hop BroPretty close. It's basically a toasted aroma vibe, like deeply browned malt. Add body, meaning weight and fullness on the palate, and the whole thing feels seriously satisfying.
MugiWhoa, that full-bodied feel sounds almost dessert-like. I think I assumed dark beer was just bitter this whole time!
Hop BroAt a place like EIGHT UNDER, part of the fun is how the aroma opens up as the beer warms a bit. It could start tight and then gradually soften.
MugiAnd it's in Yoga, right? Good for weekdays or weekends is such a strong pub skill. Beer plus food is basically the dream setup!
MugiI'm already at maximum stout craving just hearing this. If it really has that cocoa note, every sip sounds dangerous.
Hop BroThen next stop is EIGHT UNDER, and we're taking our time with Saku no Yoru. If we follow the aroma as it changes, we're both definitely ordering another round.
