Hop BroToday's headline is this: at Mishima's Repubrew Mishima Slider House 24taps, Repubrew just poured a barrel-fermented dessert ale called "Barrel Fermentation Oats Milk Latte With Nutella"!
MugiWait, what! Nutella in beer? That name sounds less like a pint and more like a dessert menu having a breakdown!
Hop BroExactly, and that's the joke of it. The whole beer is built around an everything-on-it concept: a pale ale with wheat and oats, then layered with lactose, Nutella, and coffee.
MugiHold on, what is lactose? Why did this beer suddenly start speaking science?
Hop BroLactose is a milk sugar, and here it adds a soft creamy sweetness. Mixed with oats, it keeps the mouthfeel smooth and the bitterness gentle.
MugiOkay, but "barrel fermentation" means fermented in a barrel? That sounds instantly ten years more serious!
Hop BroYep. It ferments in a whiskey oak barrel, then after fermentation they steep beans from Numazu's Chatora Coffee to pull aroma like a cold brew. That's the fun part.
MugiNo way! And the nitro version has cappuccino-style foam? This beer has officially gotten a side job at a cafe!
Hop BroPretty much. The tasting notes say hazy pale gold, sweet-roasty coffee and Nutella aromas, and a clean finish, so it lands as a great after-dinner beer.
MugiWith chocolate, cheesecake, or even blue cheese at Slider House 24taps? Yeah, this is an order-it-now pint. I want one, and you absolutely want one too!
At RepuBrew Mishima Slider House 24taps in Mishima, Shizuoka, beer fans can find Repubrew's distinctive 'Barrel Fermentation Oats Milk Latte With Nutella.'
A beer built like an over-customized cafe drink
The concept turns the feeling of endlessly adding extras to a coffee order into a craft beer. The base is a pale ale brewed with generous amounts of wheat and oats, then rounded out with lactose for creaminess, Nutella for sweet nutty notes, and coffee for a layered roast aroma.
The beer is fermented in oak barrels that previously held whiskey, and coffee beans from Numazu's Chattra Coffee are steeped directly into the beer after fermentation to pull out aroma in a cold-brew-like way. The nitro version adds a cappuccino-like, ultra-fine foam that gives the beer a dessert-drink impression before the first sip.
What to expect in the glass
Repubrew's tasting notes describe a slightly hazy pale gold pour, a coffee-and-Nutella aroma, and a soft, drinkable body with very little bitterness. Oats give it a rich, silky texture, while carbonation keeps the finish clean enough to make another sip easy.
Food pairings lean toward chocolate, cheesecake, blue cheese, and other dishes with sweetness or richness. In a beer pub like 24taps, this is the kind of beer that rewards slow drinking, with the aroma opening up as it warms in the glass.
