340ml bottle, part of a quartet of offerings from this South African craft brewery to recently find their way to Alberta bottleshop shelves. Denoted simply as an 'ale' on the label description.
This beer pours a murky, dark dishwater brown colour, with one anemic finger of weakly puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves some roiling sea wave lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, some raisin and prune black fruitiness, a sweet sort of nutty essence, and some tepid leafy, earthy, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is more semi-sweet caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee thing, some muddled dark fruitiness, pithy oily nuts, and more rather tame grassy, weedy, and floral noble hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite understated in its barely-there frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, I suppose, nothing really stepping on any toes here. It finishes off-dry, the caramel and nutty flavours lingering with the most, er, fervour, I suppose.
Overall, this is a pretty plain and unassuming brown ale, nothing really standing out or making me want to dive right back into it anew. I can't specify any actual flaws, but my palate just seems bored by what I'm cramming past it right now.
