Small bottle poured, picked up somewhere along the way, long enough ago to forget. Past the best by date here, but I'm not sure it ever got worse than it was to start. Dark cola brown pour. Lots of bready malts, grain being on the sweet side. Rich caramel, bready notes throughout with a smooth, flavorful finish. Overall a unique and filling lager. Late lingering sweetness, but its not a bomb by any means. Not bad.

Bottle thanks to Grumbo: Poured a orange tinted brown with a tan ring. Aroma is strong malts. Taste is sugary malts, dries in the finish. Not bad!

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Coppery amber colour, tan foam head leaving lacing and aroma of malt, dried fruity, caramel. Taste is malty, tangy, dried fruit, caramel, burnt toffee, spicy, boozy, earthy, nutty. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry spicy boozy finish. OK

21/7/2019. Bottle from Ben's Off Licence, Tottenham. Pours dark amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of brazil nuts, roasted malt, light chocolate, toasted sugars and burnt toffee. Medium sweetness, light bitterness. Moderate body, slight slick and smooth texture, very soft carbonation. Above average African beer.
