De estucerveza. En copa Teku. Vainilla no pillo, pero el cilantro si y le da un toque festivo-especiado muy interesante. Buena presencia maltosa,corpulenta

2015 vintage; drank 8/28/15 @ Bad Apple.

Murky dull orange appearance.

Minimal khaki head; no lace.

Orange peel & dried flower notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Apple cider & orange peel flavors up front; dry yeast notes on the finish. Caramel emerged as this warmed.

Interesting but a bit odd. I'd have another...

2017 bottle,8%ABV.per label.Pours into a snifter a lightly hazed amber with a large blooming off white head,almost two full finger that settle slowly into a frothy mass,just a great looking pour here.Very fruity in the nose with a slight shot of resiny hops,not a strong aromatic beer but what I get I like.Yeast notes abound on the palate along with some coriander-like orange and earthy flavors,a little spice and earth in the finish.This is no Eisbock,I would categorize it as a Belgian style of some sort,not bad but the yeast character is heavy handed.

Served on tap and poured into an 8oz glass.
L - deep red, no head or carbonation visible
S - fruity, possibly tea and/or raisins
T - tartness stands out the most, followed by a complex mixture of taste that I can't quite distinguish. Quite boozy.
F - refreshing and complex at the same time. Boozy, but still fairly easy to drink.
O - My first Kiuchi beer. I've heard a lot of good things about them, and this one did not disappoint. Will try out some of their other selections.
