Zumbi was a Brazilian anti-imperialist hero. Like his attitude, our Zumbi presents a powerful complex character of coffee, dark chocolate, hazelnut, caramel and licorice wrapped in an extremely balanced black fluid that will drive your senses through a wind of bittersweet terrified emotions.

33cl bottle. Bb 08/17. Pitch black, espresso head, looks great. Strong roasted maltyness, dark chocolate, oat smoothness, licorice notes. Superb, can’t stop sniffing it. Flavor then; salty licorice, sweetness, oatmeal, roasted malt. Finish is long with strong coffee coming through. Great porter. I like the intense aroma and flavors, full bodied brew.

Near-black red-brown beer under a huge brown-tan head; pouring a tad viscous. Roasted, sweetish roasted nuts, tad mineral nose. Burnt grain, molasses, just a touch of chocolate and coffee. Bitter-roasted. Dark malts in abundance, restsugar tries vainly to get through in the background. Chocolate, dark and mild combined, roasted crusts. Good balance. Thick, rich, viscous, warming, good carbonation. It remains indeed quite drinkable, as the label claims. Ah! I’m not overly impressed by most White Pony beers tried so far, but this is not one to leave standing!

Bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Opaque pitch black color, medium sized brown head that diminishes quickly. Smell and taste malts, lightly roasty, lightly coffee, decently bitter. Medium body, medium carbonation. Not bad at all, quite decent.

Bouteille 33cl, BB 08/2017. Brune col épais café au lait - moka. Arôme offre u bouquet noisette agréable, note de réglisse, chocolaté suivi de bouquet presque anisé. Palais est malté, chocolaté, grillé le tout sur un amertume chocolatée subtile. La réglisse se fait présente et ajoute une belle complexité à la bière. Les houblons parviennent à se faire une place donnant une pointe d’amertume en fin de bouche. Bière reste sèche avec pas mal de grains et malts. Belle surprise, et dès lors surpris de savoir pourquoi ’t Gaverhopke ne parvient pas à être plus consistant dans sa propre production.
