Hitachino Nest XH (Extra High)

Consider this a filler/backlog entry. I'm just starting my bar review and trying to stabilize a schedule that includes enough time for study, exercise, rest and some relaxation. Of course, my goal is to write at least one entry a week to keep this blog alive.
Belgian-style beer, done well by a Japanese brewery, enjoyed in the Philippines.

hazy, regal mahogany
toffee brown sugar a bit of yeast and alcohol
malty, sweet with trace hop bitterness
medium bodied and carbonated. easily drinkable. beware the 8% abv.
alcohol just slightly present in the finish, should mellow down after a year.

paired with danish blue cheese and aged cheddar. the cheeses were forward and strongly flavored. - the cheddar sharp and the blue pungent, yet the XH held its ground against them.
