Bottle at Beerhouse on Long. It pours clear deep red - brown with a thick beige head. The aroma is rich, sweet, brown bread, fruit cake, toasted brown sugars and toffee. The taste is smooth, sweet, brown bread, fruit cake, toffee, dried fruits, light spice, gingerbread and just a touch of alcohol with a spiced finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Drinks easier than it should. Great example of the style.

Mahognifarget klar med høyt beige skum. Lukter noe brent karamell, kandis og noe eddik. Søtlig sjokolade, brent karamell, eddiken kommer her også. Redd for at denne er dårlig lagret og blitt ødelagt. Legger meg på snitt

0.33l bottle shared with The Tasting Crew. This one pours quite a good looking clear deep dark nougat brown body with a medium sized fading and light lacing beige top. It has a really deep nutty sweet aroma this. Lots of oxidized caramel, deep fruits, some wood. It has grown a bit soft on the carbonation this and the mouthfeel is quite slick. More fruit dark sweetness in the flavor, sweet dates, prunes, traces of sherry and it's extremely oxidized. One year past best before date, but I don't mind that a bit. A really good surprise from Africa! Thanks Foffern! 04.03.2013

Bottle shared with ClubGonzo. Pours a clear deep brown head with a small light beige head. Aromas of leather, nuts, dark wood, dried fruit and chocolate. Lot of the same stuff in the sweet flavour with more dried fruit, wood, leather and some nuts. A bit thin but slick mouth feel. Light bitterness. An easy-drinking beer with a good balance, and a nice aroma.

Mahogany with a beige head that fades to a good coat. Rich aroma of caramel and toasted nuts. Oily mouthfeel. Taste is a little less rich than suggested by the aroma: caramel, nuts, raisins and dates with some drying finishing bitterness. Sound but not very interesting to me.
