MugiWhoa! A black beer at 5.0% sounds heavy, but is it really easy to drink?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. Even though it's an EX.Stout, it's described as having a solid richness while still going down smoothly. It seems to have roasted character without making the drinking experience too heavy.
MugiWhat is that! When they say EX.Stout, it suddenly feels like a test subject!
Hop BroIn short, stout is a type of black beer, and it's the style for enjoying the roasted aroma and bitterness of toasted malt. "EX" suggests a fuller-flavored profile, but this one is set at 5.0% ABV so it stays easy to keep drinking.
MugiI see! So even though it looks black, it's one you can enjoy without gearing up for it. Black beer in spring might actually be fresh and exciting!
Hop BroAnd Harumi Beer Brewery's strength is its in-house brewing. The lineup changes with the seasons, so it's the kind of place where every visit makes you wonder, "What's on today?"
MugiThat's the best! And if it's within walking distance of Kachidoki Station, you can stop by after work!
Hop BroThey also have directly imported wine, so this is a place where their know-how in liquor retail and dining really comes through. First a glass of Harumi Black EX.Stout, then the strategy meeting.
