| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Nov 24, 2009 Can. Pours a black with small tan head. Faint chocolate malts in the aroma, but really not much there. Flavor is malty with watery coffee and chocolate. Fairly smooth, slight bitterness in the finish. Pretty boring, and too watered down.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 21, 2009 Does little to transcend it’s macrobrew pedigree--bland, thin, and not very interesting. It’s verymuch like a traditional lager but with a bit more malt and a suggestion of body. TizzleJizzle (57), Garland, Texas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 21, 2009 Wow this is the best Asian beer I’ve ever had. Aroma of caramel, roasted nuts, and hay. Poured a deep dark brown/black color with decent head. This tasted pretty good with an initial taste of dark chocolate & coffee. Overall this is the best Asian beer (that I know of) you can get locally. Worth the money, try it and enjoy! shp555 (1681), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 7, 2009 Pours a brown color with a tan head. Aroma is malty, caramel, roast, and a hint of coffee. Flavor is coffee, roast, caramel, and a bitter earthy finish. gary07734 (402), Tyne & Wear, England
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 27, 2009 Bottle in a Japanese-alike restaurant. Pours black and carbonated with no head, looks exactly like a glass of cola! Drinks fairly thick, sweet and malty, with a dark bitter finish. Fairly unusual for an asian beer, not entirely sure what I make of it. Plamadude30k (122), Tucson, Arizona, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 24, 2009 Nothing entirely unique here, but it is a passable dark beer. The nose is a little weak, but the taste and mouthfeel are both satisfactory. Fratto (711), Arlington, Texas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 17, 2009 This was fantastic. I’ve been really let down by most of the Asian beers I’ve had and this one made up for it totally. Like a mix between Young’s Double Chocolate and Xingu. jeremytoni (1091), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 30, 2009 From a bottle poured dark brown with a fair amount of head. Nice malty sweet flavor with a quick finish.
