Clear pale golden body with a white head. Not much aroma, light grainy. Not much flavor either, light grain, malt, hint of fruit and low bitterness. No real faults, just rather boring. Easy come, easy go.

Bottle, courtesy of Knut Albert. It’s a clear, pale golden beer topped by a small, white head. The aroma is on the malty side, with some fruitiness and a touch of cardboard. Rather thin on the palate, almost watery, with low carbonation. A faint touch of bitterness in the flavour, with pale malts and some notes of cardboard. Mostly fruity finish. Drinkable indeed, but really boring. 121026

Bottle courtesy of Ryan (not ryan), thanks to Travlr! Pretty standard European style, in the exact same vein of the Denmark variety. Pale yellow, unremarkable aroma, flavor, and look.

Bottle courtesy of Ryan (not ryan), thank you sir! Pours very pale yellow, tiny white head, no lacing. Aroma of cardboard and straw. Taste is dilute white pepper and water. Oh well.

Beer is called "Carlsberg Classic", made in Malawi by Carlsberg Malawi. Has no identification on the bottle aside from the front branded label. Label mentions a website called www.sobomw.com which doesn’t seem to be functioning. Smells like wet wood and hops, still a faint smell, not strong. Points for this beer having a nice dark amber hue, no points for the lack of head. Taste is all right, a bit syrupy, with dark malts coming through and some sweetness, slightly bitter aftertaste. Feels good in the mouth too. Definitely one of the better of the Carlsberg beers.

Doesn’t smell nearly strong enough to be a stout, some scent of barley and hops but not much. But yup, looks like a stout for sure and has a nice head to boot. Sticks around for awhile, which is all I personally want. Not a strong flavour for a stout, in fact a very weak flavour. Kind of syrupy, sort of like molasses. Seems to be a weaker excuse for a stout but I guess it’s pretty good if you’re just measuring it by Malawi stout standards - as the only one available!

Smells like corn starch and alcohol, maybe some dried bush weeds in there too. Has some head if poured aggressively but it disappears quick. Colour is a lighter shade of yellow, not too appetizing looking if you ask me. Flavour is closer to a light beer than a real beer: some breadiness, some very faint malts and hops, but this is a chugging beer. At 3.7% alcohol you can do exactly that and not feeling anything, too! Malawi has better beers than this thanks to the Carlsberg brewery there, and aside from the novelty factor of Malawi’s one and only personally Malawian beer, it isn’t much to get excited about.
