Drank from an oversize wine glass
A - Pours the classic dark ebony oily colour with an off white head that retains and laces.
S - Pungent perfumic aromas of sweet malts, and vanilla.
T - Up front some nice roasted malts. There is a misplaced bitterness that kicks in mid palate. The end is smooth with a hint of espresso.
M - Full body with medium carbonation.
O - A decent well rounded stout. Its not gonna wow you but its not every day one gets to try beers from Namibia !

330ml brown bottle purchased and consumed at Archive in Brisbane.
Pours a deep brown, mostly opaque in the body but with some middling clarity at the edges. Fine, slick and fairly persistent head of beige that leaves lacing to cascade in streaks down the glass. Body is pretty thick, about right for 7.2% ABV. Looks very good.
Sweet, slick and somewhat milky nose. Molasses comes through strongly undermined by a hint of sour cheesiness. Olive brine also makes an appearance, giving it a very unusual character all up. It's not bad per se, but it sure is unexpected.
Taste is pretty clean on the front, with a slight sweetness that burgeons into a thick, clinging sticky sweetness mid-palate, laced with some slight vegetative overtones. Pleasant roast notes on the back, although more of those milk curds characters come through as well—fortunately, they're less pronounced than on the nose.
Feel is tingling with carbonation, but feels thicker overall because of the heavy molasses sugar characters.
Overall, it's not bad, but it suffers a bit from some of its more unusual characteristics. I found it hard to drink more than half a bottle.
