FES mix blended with local sorghum lager. Unlike the Nigerian, it contains no wheat and has a higher proportion of roast barley.

Bottled. Big sugary nose, syrup. Thin black color with lace. Nasty and cloying flavor, funk ass, skung, sugar, plastic, grass. Thin and watery, but horrible wherever there is flavor. Glad to have tried it for comparison.

Bottled. A black beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt as well as lighter notes of soy sauce and chocolate. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, soy sauce, and wood, leading to a dry roasted finish. The body is light. Thanks fiulijn for sharing.

Bottle from friend Maria
Black color, with medium sized beige head. Mild aroma of roasted malt and caramel, a bit nutty. Roasted malt flavor, not aggressive, some molasses, mild acidity.
I have never been to Ghana, but I guess this is the best beer available there.

At a tasting, thanks dad, small stable brown head, very dark brown colour with very dark reddish taints, aroma of honey, dried fruits and smoke, flavour of dark bread, coffee, tobbaco and some cherries, strong but quite mellow sourness, long sourish aftertaste. Very good and original stout

Bottle at a tasting. Thanks tomer. Black with a light brown head. Aroma of chocolate, cereals, some fruits, weird spicy notes and some butter. Sweetish roasty flavor with some cocoa, dark bread, tobacco, some fruitiness and a drier finish with acidic hints. Medium-bodied. Interesting.
