A beer with an air of mystery surrounding it... Those that attended the last Victorian Microbrewery Showcase may have been intrigued by this African Amber Ale: what constitutes an African Amber Ale? It was suggested it may have been a yeast strain from deep within the Congo, but the truth of the matter could be just as enigmatic as the origins of the mother continent itself. To throw another spanner into the works the packaged version of this beer gives a nod to its little brother (the Rusty Pale Ale) and is categorized as a Belgian Amber Ale. Upon tasting it, this makes more sense. The aroma offers up a sweet hint of biscuity malt surrounded by banana and this leads seamlessly into the taste. A big, sweet, malty flavour with hints of biscuit and other toasty nuances which is laced with the banana flavour from the Belgian yeast. The 7.8% ABV gives this a thick, full mouthfeel that warms you all the way down to your boots. DE
