Rich dark brown coloured body with a thinnish light brown head. Aroma of grapes, macadamia nuts, roasted malt and a touch of cream - nice and strong. Medium-bodied; Strong sweetness up front from the macadamia nuts, toasted malt, chocolate, coffee and even some from lactose noticeable. Aftertaste shows some good body with the roasted malt standing out along with a bit of the coffee. Overall, a nice and rich beer that has a lot of layered sweetness and finishes with some tropical fruits like coconut and light coffee. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Tamura’s Market in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii on 31-December-2015 for US$8,99 (I wouldn’t pay ~$12 in Waikiki) sampled in my condo here in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii on 02-January-2016.

Relatively clear orange and light copper coloured body with a faint, single centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of honey, flowers, yeast, coriander seed and a touch of curacao. Medium-bodied; Slightly malty flavour with some honey, yeast, bread, grain and a bit of a citrus note - not too much going on here, and aside from the sweetness, nothing as for complexity. Aftertaste is sweet - honey and caster sugar with a touch of fruitiness and a light coriander seed freshness. Overall, not too great, but a welcome variance from the IPAs that I’ve been having here in Honolulu. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from ABC Stores (Lewers Street between Kahlia and Helumoa (under an underpass) in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii for US$10,95 on 28-December-2015 sampled a day later in my hotel room here in Waikiki on 29-December-2015.

Bottle as Red Sea of Cacao (which probably should be aliased). Clear deep ruby amber color, beige head with good retention. Aroma of spiced caramel candy dipped in chocolate. Taste is spiced and earthy chocolate covered caramel. Interesting.
