A one-of-a-kind top-fermented beer, brewed with roasted malts and African palm nuts, based on an authentic recipe from Angola, South West Africa, thanks to Henrique Kabia. Traditionally drunk from a calabash, a type of gourd.

Bottled Clear, amber body. Frothy off-white head. Overwhelming aroma of alcohol, yeast, ... Way to alcoholic flavour aswell. Forget all about this one. Oh no, don’t forget all ... don’t forget never to drink it.

Served cooled to freezing temperatures... Darker amber beer, with huge amberish tinted head. I have tasted chicken moambe with palmut oil, but this reeks (that’s putting it mildly) of coriander. TONS of it. And further, there’s a smell, vaguely reminiscent of dry yellow curry powder. Taste: DIACETYL!! And coriander. Speak about killing a beer. As to the palmnuts...? Medium bodied (cold is making it more empty). The diacetyl slaughters everything that might be positive.

An amber beer with a huge beige head. The aroma is sweet, but also slightly acidic, and somewhat dusty. The flavor is sweet with light notes of banana and yeast.

Bekam das Mongozo Banana noch einen Kreativbonus, so schmeckt dieses Bier vergleichsweise langweilig. Es fehlt ein ausgeprägtes Aroma, es beginnt mittelherb, im Mittelteil ist es mittelherb, um dann im Nachgeschmack ebenso mittelherb abzuschließen. Kein Aroma, nix nussiges, einfach nur...öhm - schlecht. Test vom 30.10.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,2,5,2,9,3 - 4,00

Weird beer. Has some fruity aromas but the taste and aftertaste are quite bitter. Much lighter than anyone would have expected from 7%. Nice one for one time but I don’t think that I would try it again.

(Bottle 33 cl) Beautiful, clear amber colour with a creamy, white head. Indefinable scent of....? Exciting, exotic spicy flavour which doen’t resemble anything I’ve tasted before. Surprisingly dry with a ligh bitter finish. Fairly decent. 240705

Bottled.Thick amber. Banana aroma. Citric and very thin. Somewhat roasty. Not as cloyingly sweet as most Huyghe’s beers, but still another hopeless beer from them.

Amber color, big head. Quite ordinary Belgian Ale, light aroma, quite dry mouthfeel, a bit metallic and harsh. At the end, it has a herbs character. I can't detect the palmnut… Useless.
