20/1/2024. Bottle shared at CLBF/IKL. From Mia's trip to Nigeria. Pours very dark mahogany brown with a small frothy beige head. Aroma is malty, chocolate, dark fruits, toffee, liquorice, caramac. Medium sweetness, medium roasted bitterness, very slight tart edge. Moderate body, creamy mouthfeel, average carbonation. Heavier and slightly harsh bitterness developed but it’s quite okay.

$3 500ml bottle from Lonestar Bev. Plastic pint. Suddy & soapy stable pour. Slight sweetness, mellow/old German hops & black pepper on the nose. Slick & mostly industrially clean, fading salted cracker, & a touch of veggy bitterness. Thin, medium-low carbed & not that bad.
