Rogue Morimota Black Obi Soba Ale

Web stuff: A richer version of our Soba Ale with the addition of specialty malts and a special blend of hops to give it a fuller, nutty flavor while retaining a clean, crisp finish.

Is it better than the regular Morimota?  I don't think so.  It's a bit tannic.  The appeal of the normal Soba ale is that it is very smooth.  If you try really hard, you can taste the soba.  You shouldn't have to try so hard; sequels are always disappointing.
