Commercial Description:
This is a classic beer made with special malts and raw materials that produce its amber color, as well as its body and rather dry, light character that distinguishes it from other dark beers. In contrast to the general perception that traditional dark beers are bitter and “heavy,” Bavaria Dark has very different characteristics, due to its hops content. Bavaria Dark was launched in 2001.

35 cl can, tasted at Řlkonsortiet, thanks to Maria. ABV is 5%. Brown color, off-white head. Average beer with some sweetness, a bit watery.

Can. Thanks to Maria for sharing. Pours clear brown with an off-white head. Sweet, malty aroma. Notes of cereals. Some alcohol there as well. Flavour is sweetish and malty. Faint plastic notes. Feels thin/watery. Dry, light bitter finish. Alcohol. More ‘bite’ here than in the initial flavour. 29-02-08.

Pours a brownish color, similar to a disgusting bus station toilet bowl. Smells like tin and tastes like tin. I loved Costa Rica, but don’t go there for the beer.

Drank from bottle. Aroma was slightly bitter and slightly sweet. Taste was malty with a hint of hops. Not bad, but very average. One of the better choices if you’re in Costa Rica though

Thanks to Aaron for bringing this brew from Costa rica! A lighter Schwarzbier, but not bad, mellow, some slight roasted flavor, otherwise an average bier, not bad though, quite drinkable! My favorite Costa Rican brew!

Bottle. A suprising beer dark brown with aroma with notes of malt and bread. Taste a little like danish hvidtoel (cant remember the english word, pardon me).

The best of Costa Rica so far. Pours into a red/ brown color with a brown head. Very malty at the beginning, then no flavor, lost.............

12 oz can. Dark brown beer with a light brown head. Aroma is all pale malt with a hint of molasses. Very boring for a beer that claims to be a schwarzbier, but is clearly a pale lager with colour added... and not even a very good example of that.
