The caramel malt, give it a perfect balance between sweet and bitter, and the aftertaste remember a little bit almond, tobacco and nuts. Excellent!!!

This is pretty good. Smells good, big head, very creamy. Flavor is light but drinkable, and this may be my new favorite mass Mexican beer. Had in the airport in Mexico City.

dark one, good aroma, the best sold massively in every little store on every city

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.

If you ever find yourself in Oaxaca on a 90+ degree day and you don’t want any of the crappy beers like Tecate, Corona or Sol do yourself a favor and get this beer. Maltier, roastier and richer than any mass produced beer I’ve had in Mexico. A very nice effort from a major Mexican brewery. Remember to order the Obscura, not the Clara!

UPDATED: OCT 14, 2008 This is definitly the best mexican comercial beer. Sweet aroma and very light flavor, but a nice, creamy one.

A nice change from all the clear beers down here. The first sip is a shock by comparison. After that it tastes like a malty sweet coke. Lots of caramel and sweetness. Still better than the clear beers.
