Dave’s BrewFarm Kotura. No word on the name, most probably a Japanese wind. 8.5% ABV. What else? "Five different malts come together with classic Weizen yeast--chocolate, caramel, and toffee flavors with a healthy ABV makes for a nice dessert beer." Utter blackness, under a slim, tanned head. Sweet aromatics, with caramel, toffee, the like.. .creamy, sweet luscious, lovely. AH… Taste…rich malt, full of chocolate and toffee, caramel, all that. Hops are minimal, sweetness is high, but not overpowering. Unless you need to steer clear of that sort of thing. This is strictly labeled as a dessert beer, so don’t ask for a refund if you yearn for something drier. Very rich malty flavor, like a liquid candy bar, and ever-so tasty. There are some hops adding buttering balance, nicely dancing on the tongue at the start of the taste, with the tasty malt mix rising up and fandango-ing into the flavor of it all. In the end it’s a dry sweetness, and an excellent balance. Beautiful beer. So very nice.

On tap at Cave festival in Hudson. Pours dark orange/brown with thick white head, aroma is sweet caramel, toffee, and some chocolate. Sweet caramel and toffee, finishing sweet with chocolate and would definitely go well with a dessert. A bit too sweet for me, but overall a good brew.

On draught at Dave’s BrewFarm near Wilson, Wisconsin. Pours a hazy milk chocolate fudge brown colored brew with a beige head that has some great retention and excellent lacing. Aroma of roasted caramel malt, some banana Belgian yeast, chocolate, toffee and floral hops. Taste is medium to full bodied, soft carbonation with flavors of banana, chocolate, Belgian yeast and sweet butterscotch. Finish is sweet, full velvet texture with aftertaste of toffee, chocolate and Belgian yeast with a little alcohol profile without the bite. Most excellent.
