The Beer:
Kuri Kuro means “black chestnut,” which is an appropriate name for this Dark Chestnut Ale. Chestnuts are native to Japan. They are mostly used in desserts. In the winter, vendors roast them outside busy train stations and sell them to those walking by. You can smell roasting chestnuts from far off. Kuri Kuro is an American Imperial Stout style beer. Kuri Kuro’s aroma is bold as well: roasted malts, dark chocolate, nutty, chestnuts, with coffee and creamy vanilla. It finishes softly sweet with a luscious, creamy note.
About the Brewery:
