All in all, no better the second time around. Delbomber has it with the intense metal on this beer. Close in approach to Negro Modelo, but sans the richness.

Oct 31, 2008 Updated: Nov 1, 2008Poured from 12 oz bottle a clearish drak brown/black, with little to no foamy head. Aroma of roasted malts, a bit of hops, light chocolate nuts, coffee and sweet caramels! Flavour much of the same, tastey swarzbier. Impressed!

Oct 29, 2008 It’s been a long time since I ran across this beer. Used to be a favorite at the Backdoor Tavern back in the day. Pours a dark reddish hue with a nice tan head. Sweet caramel aroma, clean mouthfeel, full of sweet, roasted malts. Great nutty finish. Easy drinking, although doesn’t seem quite as dark, or as dry (?) as I remember... but that was at least 8 years ago.
Is it a top rated beer? No. Is it complex? Not really. But it is a great beverage, quite refreshing to me, and I tend to migrate toward complex brews. Guess I’ll fire up the waybackmachine and seek out the Crimson Voodoo...
