UPDATED: APR 17, 2012 Almost totally black with a fizzy light brown head. Aroma is a little malty with some sweet caramel and coffee notes. Taste is very sweet and syrupy. This one is surprisingly a bit better than most Brazilian Malzbiers but still has that horrible sweet syrupy taste. I’m not sure why people drink it.

light sweet roast, some coffee and tar, molasses too .. . no real head .. MaltoMatic!!! more of a malt health drink, but has some interesting aspects to it .. . damn foil easter egg!! .. . super sweet! .. . recommended for something different! ..drinkers of the low alcohol dutch oud bruins would love this!!

Can: Drank during Euro 2008. This must be an acquired taste, syrup with low alcohol. Kids would love this stuff.

UPDATED: AUG 2, 2009 Bottle 0,355L. Very faint aroma of malt and caramel, almost went by. Coca-cola color body with creamy brown foam, but that fades away very very quickly. Sweet taste of caramel and sweet coffe with some little perceptive roasted malt behind it. Very weak sweet aftertaste that doesn’t hold at all to the tongue. For those who like the style, it’s a nice one. / Aroma bem fraco de malte e caramelo, quase passou batido. Cor de coca-cola com espuma marrom cremosa, mas que some muito rapidamente. Sabor doce de caramelo e café doce com malte torrado pouco perceptível por trás. Retrogosto doce bem fraco que praticamente não fica na língua. Pra quem gosta do estilo, é uma boa cerveja.

Garrafa, em dezembro de 2007. Cerveja excessivamente doce, sem amargor e traços de álcool. Carbonatação baixa. Coloração preta com creme marrom, muito bonito, mas sem persistência.

Can. High creamy and lasting brown head. Pitch black body. Roasted malt aroma with coacoa. Extremely sweet and sugary coffee flavor. Low carbonation and a long sticky sweet aftertaste.

The aroma is not too strong like others, but the flavor and palte is good. Cerveja doce, com aroma fraco e sem aquele gosto amargo. Gostei bastante para uma malzbier nacional.

Candy excessively. It does not have notes of toasting or chocolate, but pure caramel of low quality.

UPDATED: SEP 7, 2007 Long Neck - Cerveja escura, muito doce, lembrando algum suco industrializado, porém não enjoa. Espuma caramelo densa. Uma cerveja aveludada. Sem traços de amargor ou outra coisa predominante. Gosto de caramelo e traços de alcool.

Beer 9 Brazil trip. Looked like coffee, smelled like watery molasses. Sickeningly over the top sweetness, molasses, slight chocolate, but couldn’t get past the sugar onslaught. Drain pour.
