[1] Review by mmmmBeer from Edmonton, Canada who has tried this beer once. (4/8/2006 3:19:29 PM)
"Had very little hopes for this brew I read all the other reviews of it, a friend mocked and ridiculed me for buying it, it wasn’t looking good from the start for this little stubby bottle from Africa. The first problem I noticed with this stout is the fact I can see light pass through it when its still in the dark brown bottle, and when I poured it in my glass it looked more like Dr. Pepper then a stout dark brown/red, it had a fairly average looking head that lasted for a couple of sips. Smell took me by surprise; it was not bad in my opinion chocolaty, earthy, and of spiced fruit. It felt very thin and watery, but I have had worse feeling stout then this. The taste had a lot of coffee in it, with bitter chocolate and high quality dirt, the after taste was of bakers’ chocolate. The only really bad thing about this beer was the fact it didn’t resemble a stout what’s so ever if I didn’t know that’s what it was I would not have guessed it by looking. I expected this beer to be swill but I think it was a stout that’s just a bit bellow average."

"Wrong...all wrong. Tiny ammount of head was gone quicker than i could put this stuff out of its misery. Tried to con druken beer clones into drinking most of it - the remaining bottle will rot until there is nothing left in the fridge i'm sure. Fake sweet chocolate stink and taste with low end malts. Beer smelt exactly as it tasted. Red/brown colour and quite see through - if the bottle didnt say 'Stout' I never wouldve known. Terrible beer but not terrible in a aching stomach way, that is, unless you had more than one. Hardly worth the 5 cents I'll get back from the bottle depot"

"Sampled at the Lynnwood International Swill Fest. 330ml bottle. Deep reddish brown color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is roasted malt and hairspray. A light bodied foreign stout. Malts are colaish and sweet. Licorice, cardboard, and sweet. It would be cloying if it weren’t so thin. This is really horrid. Its amazing how bad a stout can be when it goes wrong. Mouthfeel is watery and thin. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is bitter. "
