<b>18-Apr-07</b> <i>ྫྷ oz bottle, Batch 35: Purchased 14-Mar-07 for $2.11 from www.liquidsolutions.biz)</i> Not all that impressive to look at, the dark brown beer pours with a small, fizzy, light-tan head, but that disappears within seconds. The mildly aromatic nose offers chocolaty, lightly roasty malts with a hint of sourness in characteristically clean lager fashion. Whatever this beer may lack in appearance and aroma, the flavor does its best to make up the difference. Prominent, lightly sweet chocolate is accompanied by a pleasant nuttiness and a gentle hop bitterness, finishing with a touch of roast. But because toffee becomes more apparent in both the flavor and nose as the beer warms up, I think this beer is best served well-chilled to truly enjoy the chocolaty goodness. Medium in body and carbonation. While my overall impression is one of only mild enthusiasm, it’s definitely another tasty beer from this Brazilian brewery.

Nov 17, 2009 Average but good black beer. Sweet and salty with a malty undertone. They all start to taste the same these black beers.

Apr 25, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a small ring of tan lacing. Aroma is of malt, chocolate, smoke, and caramel. Taste is of very lightly toasted malt, sweet chocolate, a hint of smoke, and the slightest bit of caramel. Body is very light and has decent carbonation. Mouthfeel is fizzy, but slightly watery. It’s very drinkable, but the characters are all very subdued if not nonexistent. I’m on the fence with this one.

Mar 29, 2009 Bottle (12oz). Very deep ruby pour, average frothy off-white head. Dry leafy aroma, generic roast, a hint of peat and cocoa. Tastes like a nice light mild - no alcohol, roast coffee bean and cocoa, dry bitterness to even it out. Average body, silky, somewaht still, dry roasty finish. I like it - sessionable.
