Laurentina Preta
Holy Hell! A dark beer in f’ing Mozambique! This is, by far, the big winner of the Mozambique trip for taste and originality. This, from what I found, is the only dark beer produced in Mozambique. In addition, it’s good – quite good. It has a dark brown hue and a caramel head. The taste is sweet, in the vein of a Newcastle Brown. It goes down smooth, is rather refreshing for a dark, and isn’t too filling. Altogether, a great beer. The only competition that this might have is the Castle Milk Stout from South Africa which I was unfortunately unable to taste. When (if) in Mozambique, definitely drink this beer.

Laurentina, a Mozambiquan brewery, puts out what is, in my opinion, the best beers in Mozambique that I have yet tasted. This is a lager, like all of the other beers in Mozambique (or so it seems). However, this beer wins with a slight sweetness and a richer taste than the competition. Granted, this isn’t a LOT different than all of the other Mozambiquan lagers that I tasted. But, in repeated testings next to the competition, this wins out as my overall favorite, and the beer that I drank the most whilst in the area. I would recommend this even over some of the American counterparts – very good.
