An imperial dark lager with an unexpected twist — Koji. Crafted with flaked rice and specialty malts, this beer offers a light, roasty backbone that highlights the unique character of Koji.
Produced by Rocky Ridge Brewing Co. in Australia, this lager stands out due to the introduction of Koji at the end of fermentation, which imparts a subtle umami depth, slightly sweet and earthy, enhancing the overall complexity.
The drink presents a balanced profile, where the Koji's nuanced layers complement the roasty malt, allowing for a satisfying yet smooth finish.
At 7%, this lager is both flavorful and approachable, making it an intriguing choice for those seeking a distinctive dark beer experience.
