12oz bottle I brought back from Lima is a clear gold with some tight white head. Nose has some grass, straw, a little couch, some coriander (not in a good way). Flavor has white pepper, potpourri, light corn, straw. Finishes spritzy. Could be an old bottle, could just be poorly done.

Sierra Andina Pachacutec Imperial Ale 10.5% I got this beer from my buddy Beercation. Brewed in honor of an Inca Emperor, it is the strongest beer from Peru and Ratebeer classes it as an American Strong Beer. I'm kind of surprised it's from Huaraz a mountain town from which I went hiking and mountain biking in the Andes a decade ago. An odd brown color, it has a dense beige head that reminds me of a root beer. Malty sweet plum and cocoa powder aroma. It has velvety mouthfeel but a somewhat thin finish with some boozy heat. The taste is sweet, plum, raisins, a sharp almost burnt hardtack and cocoa nibs. It paired well with chocolate ice cream. It's not a truly complex beer but is definitely better than I expected Peru was currently brewing. Thanks for the hook up! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

330mL bottle, pours a hazy amber with a small white head. Nose brings out boiled vegetables and light grainy notes. Flavour is dry and grainy, with dry bready malts and grains. Pretty boring but inoffensive. Meh.

Pours a murky brown with a thin tan head. Citrus nose. Flavors of herbs with some caramel notes. Very intriguing flavors. Unique and tasty.

Bottle split at the Cotteridge Bash, 24/01/15 thanks to Rilester for bringing me this one back from his travels. Light black with a moderate light beige covering. Nose carries a touch of plastic, light charr, chocolate. Taste comprises toffee, charr, light cocoa rub. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Rather whelming, possibly under.

24th Jan 2015: shared bottle at the Cotteridge Wine meet. Poured a very dark brown with a tanned top of foam. Coffee and chocolate aroma, taste the same, this is all about the malts with very little hop influences. Not bad at all.
