Bottled. A red beer with a tan head. The aroma has notes of metal, caramel, and bread. The flavor is sweet with notes of wet hay, metal, caramel, and brewing cereal, leading to a dry finish.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of Rasmus40. Pours a clear deep amber with a small off-white head. Caramellish and somewhat phenollic aroma. Medium body, sweet caramel and heavy phenols. Hardly any bitterness. 221112

Drank a lot of this in Kinshasa, it was my preferred beer of all the local stuff. Nice malty flavour, a kind of unpasteurised effect, which hinted at some kind of complexity - which is quite a find in this part of the world! A decent dark beer, has no peers in the Congo.

Malziger und alkoholisch-süßer Geruch, etwas Soja. Im Antrunk ist das Bier malzig-wässrig, ein würziger Ansatz ist gegeben. Dieser ist auf niedriger Intensität konstant, die minimale Alkoholnote scheint passend. Weiter eher mild, zu dem malzigen Teil kommt eine herbe Note auf, in Teilen ist das Bier fast fruchtig. Angenehm und gut trinkbar! Test vom 26.6.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,8,8,8,6,8 - 8,00

Hazy chestnut-copper colour, full of UFO’s; thick dirty cream-like head, leaving textbook lace. Very nutty nose, pointing right at oxydation. Sweet-estery, milky even. Bottle bears no evidence of a BBDate, might have been on the shelf of the African toko for ages... Again nutty, vaguely bready. Definitely aged, maybe even some lightstrike. Not really bad, however; sweetish, sweet corn, oxydized malts. Extremely light, empty palate despite the oxydized malts. Taste fades away very quick, leaving nothing behind. Poor brew, saved against all odds by its aging.
