Bottle of 72 cl (a measure I’ve never seen before), from an African shop in the Matongé district in Brussels. Thick, heavily lacing, coarse, off-white, rocky head, colour clear bronze with copper hue. Unexpectedly pleasant aroma of caramel, milk chocolate, baked banana, toasted bread, biscuit, iron and some gentle herbal hops, very subtly. Soft malt sweet taste, caramelly, quite ’full’ for a lager, tingling carbonation, toasted accent, subtly bittering with a touch of herbal hops in the finish, though it is the malt sweetness which persists. More a bottom-fermented Bock than a real Dunkel, in my opinion. In any case much better than expected, very decent lager condisering the context in which it is made.

Bottle from tderoeck @ Belgian Autumn Gathering 2014. Dark brown colour, almost no head. Sweet aroma of caramel and liquorice. Thin and watery. Sweet. Not the best beer but ok for an African beer.

Thank you tderoeck! 650? ml. bottle sampled @ “The Tasting formerly known as Mons RBBAG I (2014)”. Clear amber. Nose is not bad at all, sweet caramel, brown sugar, cereal,… Taste is oily watery brown sugar, light herbs, caramel, candy sugar, bland, herbs, very, very watery. Way too bland & watery but still quite good for an African beer. This must be a blessing of sorts for a lover of specialty beer in Congo.

Clear reddish brown colour, beige head. Aroma of malts, caramel, hint of red fruits. Sweet malty flavour, caramel. Sweet finish, caramel, toast. Quite a nicely drinkable beer from a country of which I didn’t know that they made this kind of beers.
(From 60(?)cL can @ the ’tick countries & enjoy some good beers’ tasting. Thanks for sharing, Tim!)

6/X/14 - 65(?)cl bottle @ home - BB: 18/VII/14 (2014-1183) Thanks to Akke and Jelle for the bottle!

Clear red brown beer, small irregular beige head, little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: caramel, sweet, bit nutty, toasted almonds, sugary. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: caramel, bit sweet, chocolate, sourish touch, soft bitterness. Aftertaste: chocolate, pretty hoppy, some dried fruits, hint of mocha. Surprisingly acceptable for an African beer, very happy to see something else than the ever boring pale later!

Pours a copper color with a moderate, mostly diminishing beige head. Aroma is mainly caramel, also sweet malty.

The beer starts sweetish-watery, fresh but smooth. Nearly no bitterness. Very light in taste, smooth, fresh. Malty-sweet in the aftertaste. Nice! 9/12/9/9
