Light brown, slight haze, medium head. Thick caramel malt, and all kinds of amburana. I’ve had cachaça with amburana this assertive, it’s always fun. The base beer is what it is - sticky, limited, but if you’re into amburana finish, this does it well, elevates the base quite a bit.

On tap at Steamworks - Gastown, pours a clear dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma doesn't have much of the Amburana, with toasted bready malt, a hint of caramel, and light fruitiness. Flavour does bring out plenty of the Amburana — that's pretty damn nice — with notes of sugar cane, wood chips, toasted caramel, and light red fruits. That Amburana steals the show and gives this a depth I doubt it could have otherwise. Excellent.
