7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 8
Bottle @ home, thanks to Marlos for bringing me this from Brazil. Pours a deep brown appearance with a thin brown head. The aroma has figs, prunes, brown sugar, roast, and a bit of smoke. Carbonation is a little low. Smooth flavor. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. Well balanced. Nice smoky element. Pretty chuggable. The flavor has a dull German Chocolate cake flavor. Roast and smoke in the aftertaste. Maybe a touch thin but overall, a pretty enjoyable beer.

Bottle via trade with Marlos. BB 03/2016. Brune foncée, col fin moka, doré au verre. Arôme est agréable au bouquet très prenant. Retrouve un agréable fruité noir, pointe de vanille en rétro, boisé et chocolaté. Palais est réchauffant, certaine douceur se fait sentir. Douceur chocolaté presque de cabosse.Petit côté boisé très plaisant, chocolaté presque noisette. Alcool ressort bien, grillé, choco fin et poudreux. Très belle surprise.

(11/04/2015) Courtesey of Kraddel. Sampled 330 ml. bottle @ De Rampkrot. BBF 30/03/2015. Blackish dark brown with no head. Nose is soy sauce, herbal, pure fish guts, overly umami & flat. Taste is weird combination of vanilla upfront, plenty of it and sugar sweet followed by flat soy sauce, fish guts, umami, herbal,…. Nearly flat, nope this isn’t it. // (07/06/2015) 355 ml. bottle @ home. Obtained in a trade with Marlos. Thanks! BBF 03/2016. A much fresher bottle. Brazilian breweries seem to be obsessed by plastering awards from competitions on their beers, effective marketing in Brazil I suppose. Extremely dark brown black, vanishing small mocha head, lightly herbal. Nose is overly heavy from umami & fish guts notes with light liquorish, anise & charcoal,.... + lingering heavily roasted finish, not my style. Taste luckily carries some cinnamon flavor which I presume is from the Amburana barrel which strikes me as quite pleasant, unfortunately I like the base beer less which carries notes of fish guts, liquorish, bitter herbal, umami, faint charcoal,… The barrel aging covers some of that but not enough. Beer is also a bit too effervescent due too high carbonation. Judging by the meager 2 examples I have had so far, I really dig Amburana aging which carries a delicious cinnamon note, possibly the two tree are related. Apparently the tree which seems to have 2 different species is endangered due to habitat loss. A real whale I suppose, some quickly age something American & hyped on this before it gets extinct! -> Upping the score to 3.5 from 3.2 due to the fresher version.
