<b>11-Sep-08</b> <i>鶊-ml bottle: Purchased 09-Feb-08 for $1.69 at Ledger’s Liquors in Berkeley, CA)</i> This is a malty beer, but it certainly lacks richness and depth, and the overall flavor doesn’t inspire thoughts of quality ingredients. The entry is uninteresting, mixing toasty bread and graininess, but it manages to finish with a touch of smoky roast. Medium-bodied and pleasantly dry on the palate. The nose is bready and papery, far less malty than the flavor. Dark-brown in color with ruby highlight and signs of good clarity at the edges. A small, light-tan head settles to a thin layer and bubbly ring, leaving a fair amount of spotty and stringy lacing. Not a bad beer, but not interesting.

Bottle during dinner at Sangria 46. Pours black/brown with some fading head. Malty but incredibly light. Pretty good brew with all things considered and it went well the amazing with the portobello con salmon y queso a la parrilla!

Bottle at Cafe Salsa in Alexandria, VA. Pours a clear, deep ruby with a beautiful, rocky, tan, one-finger head with good retention. Leaves very sticky lacing. Aroma is huge maraschino cherries, a bit of chocolate-covered strawberries. Taste is similarly excellent: some brown sugar, vinous character, cherries, a hint of spicy rum. A bit astringent on the palate but still smooth and drinkable. This was very good. A nice surprise!

0,33 l can. Deep ruby colored one with a small lacing beige head. Some vinous character in the nose with some toasted and a light roasted perfume. Vinous flavor with light bit of roasted malt and some charamel taste.

A little better than the light version. Malty and sweet. Thin. Sugary. Meh.

12 oz. bottle from The Party Source. First rating for a Spanish beer. Pours a deep brown, almost black, with a little tan head. Not a particularly strong aroma- too watery- malt, hops, metallic notes, licorice, dried fruit. Flavor is also a little too watery, with metallic notes, sugar, malt, licorice, caramel, burnt toast. Smooth, light, watery mouthfeel. Finishes dry.

Aroma light raisin. Average, frothy, off-white head. Good lacing. Mostly lasting longevity. Black body. Light bitter flavor. Light to medium palate.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. You can sense the malt, but it’s watery and off. Okay, but not great stuff.
