Clear reddish brown beer, aery big fluffy beige head, little stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: sweet, caramel, bit sugary, spices, cinnamon, ginger bread. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very spicy, cinnamon, chocolate, ginger bread, some caramel. Aftertaste: very spicy, ginger, cinnamon, coffee, mocha, dried dates. Pairs very well with some real Stilton cheese!

(11/04/2015) Courtesey of Kraddel. Sampled 330 ml. bottle @ De Rampkrot. BBF 30/03/2015. Blackish dark brown with no head. Nose is soy sauce, herbal, pure fish guts, overly umami & flat. Taste is weird combination of vanilla upfront, plenty of it and sugar sweet followed by flat soy sauce, fish guts, umami, herbal,…. Nearly flat, nope this isn’t it. // (07/06/2015) 355 ml. bottle @ home. Obtained in a trade with Marlos. Thanks! BBF 03/2016. A much fresher bottle. Brazilian breweries seem to be obsessed by plastering awards from competitions on their beers, effective marketing in Brazil I suppose. Extremely dark brown black, vanishing small mocha head, lightly herbal. Nose is overly heavy from umami & fish guts notes with light liquorish, anise & charcoal,.... + lingering heavily roasted finish, not my style. Taste luckily carries some cinnamon flavor which I presume is from the Amburana barrel which strikes me as quite pleasant, unfortunately I like the base beer less which carries notes of fish guts, liquorish, bitter herbal, umami, faint charcoal,… The barrel aging covers some of that but not enough. Beer is also a bit too effervescent due too high carbonation. Judging by the meager 2 examples I have had so far, I really dig Amburana aging which carries a delicious cinnamon note, possibly the two tree are related. Apparently the tree which seems to have 2 different species is endangered due to habitat loss. A real whale I suppose, some quickly age something American & hyped on this before it gets extinct! -> Upping the score to 3.5 from 3.2 due to the fresher version.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with a small off-white head. Has a roasted malty caramel aroma. Roasted malty caramel flavor with hints of caramel. Has a roasted malty caramel finish.

Bottled at Bishops Arms Vasagatan, Stockholm. Very dark brown, small beige head. Chocolate and licorice up front. Mid sweet with medium-full body and well rounded mouthfeel. Mild but concentrated flavours of chocolate, tobacco and licorice. Mid bitter finish. Relaxed and edgeless. Really good!

12oz twist cap bottle pours with a dark mahogany colored body that supports a tan head. The aroma offers up sweetness with brown sugar, dates, coconut and then a touch of chocolate. The taste starts with brown sugar, earthy chocolate, a big coconut note, marshmallow and a sliver of molasses. It gets into a thin layer of minerals into the finish where echoes of date like dark fruity esters are just noticeable. This is nice stuff where the sweet aroma didn’t convey in the flavor as I found a nice balance.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Pours a clear, deep dark brown with a reddish hue and a smallish, off-white head. Spicy aroma atop the sweet roast. Rich, sweet body, almost candy-like. Subtle roast, but also dark, dried fruit and again the interesting, spicy woodiness. Not bad. 260514
