Rich hazy light brown coloured body with a glow of copper and bronze and an interesting, almost neon green glow when held up to a light, all with a single centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of nuts, earth, alcohol, caramel and a lot of honey. Full-bodied; Deep earthy and pungent nut flavour with a big bitterness of metal, malt, medicine and cough syrup. Aftertaste has more alcohol notes than anything else with the nuts and earth hitting hard, some caramel and toffee also, but the bitterness from the metal and malt is overwhelming. Overall, a beer that was below expectations, but true to the consensus here on RB - not so great. I sampled this 600 mL stubby bottle purchased from Central Market in Houston, Texas on 10-August-2013 for US$8,99 sampled at home in Washington on 20-July-2014, but wasn’t worth saving this long nor the trip home from Texas.

Hazy gold - amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is dry and crisp from sharp minerally carbonation. Thin malts, but sweetish. Sweet spices! Floral spice and piney hops. Moderate bitterness. Dry finish. Very floral spicy, is this because of the rapadura sugar? Interesting!

Bottled 600ml. -at Estacao des Maltes, Natal. Amber/brown coloured, minimal off-white head, some caramel and grain in the nose. Sweet malty, caramel and noticable alcohol with nutty and fruity notes. Slight syrupy and dryish finish. Not the best one here but pretty much ok.

Bottled 600ml. -at Estacao des Maltes, Natal. Brown coloured, small cappuccino head, nutty nose. Toasted malt, nutty and fruity with mild hoppy notes but unfortunately ruined by metal presence in the finish. Let’s say a bit unbalanced but ok.

Hazy amber beer, small pale cream coloured head. Palate is light and semi dry and a little crispy. Smooth dry malts and light sweet esters. Sweetish dry nuts. Finishes smooth and dry and mildly bitter. Creamy nutty aftertaste and esters also linger on. Not bad.
