Bottle from Grima, thanks! Dark brown color. Grainy aroma with a hint of caramel. Grainy sweet flavor with hints of caramel and coffee. Nasty by-flavors.

Bottle at home. Clear dark brown pour, thin off-white head. Aroma is slightly roasty, some sugary malts, molasses and licorice. Flavor is slightly bitter, slightly sweet, quite roasty and a bit bready. Overall quite nice.

Bottle @ home, thanks vjl! Aroma is roasty malt, nutty, caramel. Very much like when steeping. Flavour is roasty malty, roasty clings on a bit. Pretty good considering.

Bottle. Pours a clear dark mahogany brown with a thin to medium sized beige head. Toast and a touch of roasted malt on the nose. Gentle malt and a touch of roast. Slightly nutty, toast, more malt. Finishes with a slight sweetness and roasty malt. Decent and easy drinking. Pleasantly surprised.

I had this beer poured from the bottle while in Luang Prabang, Laos. The beer had a dark brown color with a very small off-white head which quickly disappeared without cling. It had a grainy, malty aroma with some touches of earthy hops as well. The flavor was slight sweet and malty, but also had a strong bitter grainy component. It had low carbonation and very little fizz, and was fairly smooth with a light, wet mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pours a medium to dark amber with a nice tan head and decent lacing. This is actually way better than I expected though still nothing to get excited about. I have yet to try an asian beer that I really like but this one is (slightly) better than most and one that I can actually get through a whole bottle of. It still has that skunky rice taste but it also has more of a malt taste to cover some of that skunkiness up.

Appearance: Medium brown, clear. Fizzy with good amount of off-white head. Aroma: Sweet, with fruit and malt. Taste: Smooth, quite sweet with alright fruit and malt. Info: 330ml bottle, 14/10-2011

Bottle. Sweetish dark lager, mid-brown colour, fairly smooth, ok. Would be a nice change to the pale lagers over there but don’t really see why it has to be so strong for the flavour/style.

Bottle shared by Dmac. Pours out an odd rootbeer color with a strange whispy head. Aroma is of caramel, old sugar, and some bread. Taste is some light caramel, sticky sweetness, stale bread, light malt. Meh

Bottle from Cranbury Buy-Rite. This was pretty horrible. Here are my notes word for word "skunk, plastic, alcohol, pennies, od mouthfeel, dry finish, creamy, lots of bread, grains, dark bread...BLAH" That about sums this one up.
