Bohemia Obscura

Brewed by FEMSA - Cuauhtémoc-Moctezuma (Heineken)
Style: Vienna
Monterrey/Veracruz-Llave, Mexico

Serve in Lager glass

From bottle but poured some of it in a glass to see the colour (amber). Smell has notes of caramel, some light roast, raisin, vanilla, a very slight fruit note hard to categorize. As it’s being said, dry for its sweet aroma. Light-medium body, easy to drink but nicely complex.

Deep red amber pour with a tight tan head. The nose shows burnt sugar, light vanilla and some soft dark caramel. Lots of caramel character bu tthe beer remains remarkably dry. A touch of herbal character along with some slight soft smokiness. It’s a pretty decent brew - but I still prefer the regular Bohemia.

Bottle from supermarket in Cabo San Lucas. Easily one of my favorite Mexican beers. Nice roasted flavor, dark color, great drinkability without being typical Mexican-beer-watery. Much better than Negra Modelo or Dos XX Amber

I think this is my favorite Mexican beer so far. A little richer than Negra Modelo. Nice option if in Mexico. Serving: Bottle

si las comparamos con la negra modelo, que es con la que la relacionan, queda fuera de competencia. pura mierda, acida

UPDATED: MAR 1, 2010 Bottle in Tlachichuca, Mexico: Very light on the tongue; somewhat watery. Yet chewy and tar-like in taste. Healthy amount of bitterness follows. Hints of toffee, chocolate and watered-down coffee.

Bottle. Pours copper w an off white head. Nose is oxidized raisins and a bit vegetal. Flavor is brown sugar and raisins, not much else. Kinda like a Belgian strong ale without the yeast or high alcohol. Oxidized. Nice enough carb and body. Probably the most character of any beer I’ve has on this trip. A Shame about the oxidaton

Bottle in Ixtapa Mexico: Which was labeled as "Bohemia Obscura" Deep bronze color with a fluffy off white head. The aroma has some malt along with some subtle tobacco notes. Thin body, yet the flavor has a decent malt back. Actually some roasty caramel suggestion light on the hop after taste.
