33cl bottle (5,5% ABV) at Delirium Café, Brussels. Tasted some time after the best before date. Pours dark brown with a beige head, much lighter in colour than expected. Sweet aroma of caramel with some roasted malt. Medium to light body, and quite different from what I expected. Sweet and not so much flavour, but quite drinkable. Fun to try, but I don’t think I will buy this again.

Würziger, etwas oxidierter Beginn. Frisch, geringe Süße, mild. Gering alkoholisch, harzig. Süßlich bleibend, etwas schokoladig. Nettes, nicht sonderlich spannendes Bier. 7/11/11/9/9/9

Nice stuff, actually. Perhaps because I’ve been drinking too many lagers but this goes down right, Lots of roast and dark chocolate. Some coffee elements. Some raw barley grain. Doesnt go down badly at all, combines well with the spicy Ethiopian and injera. had at the ethiopian house in bottle.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. Judging from the color, saying it’s a stout is pushing the limits. It’s dark amber to light brown, clear and with a small, off-white head. Toffee, coffee and a buttery touch on the nose, some dried fruits. Flavorwise it’s much the same, roasted malts, toffee and dried fruits with a tiny buttery touch. A quite nice one, definitely nothing I’d expect from Ethiopia. 110129

Das Etheopian Restaurant, DC 11.2oz ($7): Pours a very non-stout color: mud brown with an off-white head. But, that is not a bad thing. This beer, like Harar in my opinion, is in a style of its own. Aroma is of roasted malts, some adjuncts, and plenty of sugar. Beer is pretty sweet, but not cloying. It was much easier to drink than I had anticipated. Roasted malts and molasses flavors are present throughout. A much better beer than I thought it would be. In my opinion Ethiopia does not have it too bad with their beer.

Bottle: Hazy, chestnut-amber coloured, no head to speak of; chocolatey and fruity-alcoholic nose; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied; short sweet-malty and fruity finish with a delicate alcohol burn in the aftertaste. Tastes like a less succesful Belgian Brown Ale.....
