BB 31/03/2022, 330ml bottle; 8% dark ale brewed with Somalia Region ingredients like myrrh (a natural gum or resin extracted from a number of small, thorny tree species of the genus Commiphora. Myrrh resin has been used throughout history as a perfume, incense and medicine), date molasses and olive leaves;

APPEARANCE: deep brown color with cola, mahogany like hues under the light; small beige, tan head with very small bubbles creating a compact ring on the side of the glass, big bubbly island in the middle

AROMA: very unusual, unique and at the same time quirky aromas; bright notes of church incense - myrrh but not in a offensive way, moderate sweetness of toasted sugars, brown sugar, toasted bread and sweet bread crust, date paste, hints of caramel, cola & chocolate, very mild dried fruits underneath - prunes, figs; mild dried herbs, hints of slightly over baked bread crust but not burnt; hidden alcohol

TASTE: moderate carbonation with creamy and fluffy bubbles, medium light to medium body with lightly syrupy mouthfeel, slightly thin and wet feel on the edges; moderate sweet onset of toasted bread & sugars, date syrup, notes of dark chocolate and mild roast, aromatic resins and incense from myrrh but less obvious than on the nose, hints of smoke, moderate herbal bitterness, notes of chicory ; soft red wine like tartness in the middle, underneath hints of cooling and refreshing eucalyptus; dry aftertaste with lingering bitterness, incense, spicy notes, minerals, brown sugar and savory/umami hints; no obvious sign of 8% abv

OVERALL: very well crafted, everything works well together, myrrh doesn't overpower nice dark ale base; definitely quirky but at the same time enjoyable experience

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing! Bottle looks interesting! Beer in the glass dark black, small head. Heavy roasty malty aroma. Starts intense malty, roasty, some interesting smoothy vanilla notes. Finish milder, still fine roasty-stouty malty. Herbal-dry aftertaste. Interesting!
