2009 re-taste. I returned to Cambodia in 2009 and while I didn’t re-rate this beer I probably should have. I think it was clearly a step below its former standards, probably in the 3.1-3.3 range.

Bottled, Siem Reap

Very dark brown with a rich mocha head. Devil’s food stout with visions of sugarplums dancing in my nose. Burnt raisins for all with a cherry on top. Big, thick, Zywiec Porter body with roasted bitterness, intense dark chocolate, fruits burned to charcoal. Balanced with a kiss of demerara. As beautiful and mysterious as its namesake. If only I could say the same about Bayon Beer. 8-4-8-4-17 = 4.1
