On 23rd Jan 2010 I opened and reviewed a 330ml bottle of this, pushed the notes into the bottles neck and put it in ’a safe place’. Today I was cleaning out the garage and came across the said cobwebbed bottle with it’s tasting notes (it was a 4.7% ABV brew back then). Not the darkest Porter on earth but a respectable Ruby Red hue to it, off-white collar and wisp. Looks fine in my Westmalle chalice. Chocolate and liquorice in the taste and aroma, toasted malts in the mix as well. Thin bodied for a Porter, but a fine beer that I brought back from Kenya after a great holiday.

Hmmm, Platinum? Hmmm... Mild Ale? Hmmm... Ultra smooth Kenyan beer? How about none of these things. Full disclosure, if you’re looking for good beer, Africa is not the continent to travel to. Alas, when you find yourself in the land of obscure pale lagers... tick them. 12oz bottle I picked up at Ya Ya Centre. Pours a clear, hay color with a small ring of creamy white head. Nose is all sugar, wet LME, grass, straw. Flavor is overly sweet, almost a bit syrupy like treacle, grass. Watery finish. Neither a mild ale, nor ultra smooth, nor platinum anything. But it’s Africa and my bottle was cold so I drank it.

Bottled. A dark amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of metal, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes fo malt, wet hay, and rotten fruits, leading to a dry finish.
