beer_name: Morimoto Black Obi Soba Ale
text: This beer slid down the side of my pint glass and as it sloshed to the bottom, it formed a nice head that looked like tan cappuccino foam. But it was soon consumed by the thin dark brown beer. When I held it to light, it had a strange likening to a glass of cold coffee with the same colored red amber glow around the bowl of the bottom of the glass. The smell was unimpressive, like a sweet roasted soy sauce. The first taste that hit me was a nutty coffee flavor. I noticed a slight smokiness of the beer in the after-swallow. On the second taste, I noticed a strong sweet citrus flavor. After the beer was finished, I was left with the taste of smoked celery. The beer felt thin in the mouth, but it was a smooth welcomed lightness. It is a good dark beer to drink on a hot day.
