larsga (4663) - Oslo, NORWAY - APR 22, 2007
Thin light tan head. Barely translucent deep dark red body, somewhat hazy. Sweet earthy roasty aroma with faint wild berry and paper notes. Dry earthy licorice and wild berry taste with musty notes. Quite strange, but good. (0.25l draft.)

TimE (2068) - Tokyo, JAPAN - JAN 9, 2006
Pitch black color. Med-dark brown head. Rich nose of coffee, dark chocolate and prunes. A good rendition of the style in the nose. Echigo’s ever present house yeast is noticable from the initial sip. Mouth full of dark chocolate, whisky, but there is a somewhat plasticy taste that distracts, but overall it is a pleasent experience. There is also solid bitterness in the mouth. A nice warming sensation as it goes down with a dark chocolate and whisky finish. Very nice, but a bit too carbonated. If this was in cask, this stuff would go off.
