THE stout tasting Pt1. Cheers to Paul for this country tick. Clear pale gold beer, fluffy white head. Light dry palate. Mild fine carbonation. Mild floral note. Papery and dry pale malt. Forensic trace of hop. Pretty dry finish. Not great but nowhere near as bad as I was expecting. Had many pale lagers worse than this!

Bottle at the ChrisO Snow Tasting, London - thanks to Paul and his DRC hook-up for getting this beer safely into the hands and stomachs of London’s most illustrious beer drinkers, who really know how to appreciate fine African dunkels such as this one. The beer pours clear amber with a moderate, creamy off-white head; it actually looks quite nice, and Ian thought it was the best-looking beer of the day. Lightly toasted brown bread aroma with some darkened sugars. Light to medium sweet flavor, crisp and dry bread. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Light dry finish with more brown bread, mellow leafy bitterness. Good enough. For at least one day in 2013, we got to live like Turbo Kings. And it was good.

Bottle at ChrisO Snow Tasting, thanks to myself (& a friend in DRC). It pours clear deep red-brown with a medium off-white head. The nose is dark fruit, caramel, wood, toast and nut. The taste is caramel, toast, faint tang, dark fruit and cola with a dryish finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Mild-esque in style. Nowhere near as bad as feared... smooth and easy drinking. Also it is rather handsome looking.

Bottle, thanks to Paul (for putting me straight in at joint 19th in the DR Congo rating stakes !) at Chriso Snow Tasting 20/01/13. A handsome beer, clear chestnut brown with a frothy off white head that clears to ville d’edge. Nose is dark malt, light sugars - kind of aspartamic and false, faint cocoa in the background, dark fruit, light spice. Taste follows, mild fruit notes, dark malt, sugars. Medium bodied, a little fizz in the carbonation stakes, light bitterness in a dry finish.

Bottle as palate cleanser during The Stout Tasting, London - big thanks to Paul for sourcing this rare country tick. Pours clear, pale gold with a fine, white cream head. Lots of doughy, pale malts on the nose, some herbs. light to medium sweet flavor, more dough, faint hay. Light to medium in body with average, creamy carbonation. Light sweetness to finish, some white bread, cereal, white sugar. Solid. I wish I had worked out before drinking this - it’s that kind of beer.
