Aroma of malt, caramel, yeast, nuts, fruity notes, some candy sugar. Flavour is medium sweet with a light bittersweet finish. Not terrible but too sweet and sugary.

Slightly bitter soapy aroma. Bitter nutty soapy afteratste. Alcoholic, in spite of the modest ABV. Not worth a retry.

Bottle from Terre de Boissons Calais and drunk at home. Clear brown/amber lasting off white head. Not sure what this is supposed to taste like. A little nutty perhaps. Not too sweet. It’s fine to be honest. Like a strong ale with some nuttiness. Very drinkable.

330ml bottle cheers jeevan! Pours clear amber, thin off-white head. Aromas are nutty, caramel. Taste is oddly bitter, nutty, them sweet at the end. Weird.

Palm nut beer allegedly to an African recipe. Sweet, caramelly and sugary, with nutty, bit weird but not uninteresting aroma and a hint of toasted malts. Significantly better than the coconut and banana versions but still an overtly sweet, weird concoction.
