UPDATED: SEP 23, 2018 Roast and a decent dose of sweet caramel. Black pour with ok head and lacing. Sweet cloying finish. Tap at el Trappist.

Draft. Dark brown. Smells like it’s going to be sweet, but it’s more of a balanced chocolatey character. A bit watery in the finish....too macrobrewed for my tastes, restrained flavours.

My Bottom Line:
Tobacco and light roast meet caramel candy as earthen bitterness spoils part of the finish.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam tops the hazy brown.
-Light fruitiness roams about.
-Drinkability is decent.
-This is not a bad product; it just needs refinement on a few fronts.

On tap at Fiebre de Malta, Mexico City.

Draught at Fiebre de Malta, Mexico City. Dark brown, mid sized head. Medicinal nose with some roasty coffee. Mid sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Slight chocolate and coffee, some grains and saké. Salty fruity finish.

A deep dark porter with a thin brown head. In aroma, chocolate with butterscotch Ringwood yeast character and alcohol warmth. In mouth, good light chocolate malt with balanced butterscotch, coffee notes, nice.

UPDATED: JAN 29, 2013 On tap at st pauls irish pub, pours black with brown hed with regular retention, aroma has notes of roasted malts and cofee, it has a medium to light body, smooth flavor with notes of cofee , chocolate and roasted malts, average

Eyes: Black, little head. Nouse: Smells of coffee and nut flavors. Mouth: good taste, medium body lacking carbonation. Serving type: bottle

Was having fun with this although for a second I thought it was the same as the dark one. HOwever it seemed to me that was more spicy. NIce dirty dark colour, not so watery as many porters and was a little sweet too.

Good beer. It has a toasted hops flavor, and it is bitter at the first and it has a sour back flavor. Also is sweet with the firsts tastes. It has a chocolate and candy alike flavor. It very thick.

UPDATED: JUL 17, 2008 I had been looking for this beer for a while. Finally found it and tried it. Nice aroma, really dark with a beige creamy head. Usual chocolate flavors, some coffee and some smoked-roasted notes. Carbonation wasn’t that balanced. Very nice. Not only it’s not a myth, it does exist and it’s very nice. One of the top 3 mexican beers I must say.

it has some coffe and chocolate aroma, few froth, the best of its flavor came on the end.
