Hakim Stout


I went out with Alex and her parents to an Ethiopian restaurant last week. The waiter recommended a number of Ethiopian and African brews. A African stout he mentioned intrigued me. When I heard him say it i was kind of confused. It's not one of the things I could picture being made in such a hot arid place. The bottle and glass came and waiter poured me some. It has a great label. The beer pours and looks like a Newcastle. The taste isn't that far from one either. Has a stronger malty sweetness to it though. I would call this a brown rather than a stout. It went great with the food. It's definitely worth a try if you come across some.
