Named to commemorate a night when the Naivasha House in Kenya was shaking so strongly Del thought it was an earthquake. It turned out to be a hippo from lake Naivasha scratching itself against the house. Dark reddish-brown ale brewed in the style of a traditional, rustic artisanal French farmhouse ale, Bière de Garde. Complex flavor profile with a prominent malty sweetness and earthy character. Goes well with hearty rich foods like steak, roasts, or beef stew.

    Sampled @ Opal Devines on S. Congress st, Austin Tx. I tried a sample of this first, i wasnt too hip on it to start, I thought maybe a full beer might grow on me a bit as thier "Rambler blonde ale " did. Aromas were muted but some sweet malts, a touch of earth, and fruit. Flavor was mostly metallic with the tinest sliver of malt, and earth poking through. I had dinner right before this so maybe that f-ed it up, because the sample sure wasnt like that so i will give it another shot one day.
