Hakusekikan Dunkel

Formerly brewed at Hakusekikan Beer/Stone Iwamoto Co.
Style: Dunkel
Ena-gun, Gifu, Japan

Light mahogany color, chocolate, vanilla, cherry, brandy and a touch of yeast cross the nose. Light bodied, with milk chocolate, hazelnuts, caramel and oranges. Refreshing milk chocolatey finish with a touch of nuttiness. A little off balance, but great complexity more than make up for it.

Tap. Brown with hints of orange, small head. Very strong malts, some chocolate in there. If you’re really picky, it’s off balance, but I’ll take this as a session beer any day. Some bananas and wheat. Sweet, hints of heast that made it interesting. I love a good dunkel and this one is no exception.
