Today we have Suruga Bay From Baird brewery standing at 8.5%. I knew I had another one from Baird but didnt expect to pick it the next day. This beer is going down so fast. Its very tasty, leaves a super hoppy bitter aftertaste that demands you have another glug. Its somehow got a thickness to it that remains smooth. The aroma is super hops, fresh citrus, zest and a little malt. The taste is malty, fruity, hoppy and then bitter, in that order. The alcohol strength is very well hidden but you are aware of it. Quite a complex feat this beer is.

Here we have 10 from XT Brewery standing at 4.5%. Theres no way around this, it is a good stout, but thats it. The texture is nice and oily smooth, very low carbonation and medium body actually. The aroma is a good level of coffee, roasted malts and a hint of powdery chocolate. The taste is the same but with added liquorice, toffee and a bitter punch as you put the glass down, which disappears quickly and leaves you with a slight watery aftertaste. Quite a balanced drink.
