Nice brown color,small head that faded quite quickly.Nice malty aroma,a very slight amount of hops in the nose but it is almost undetectable.Mild carbonation and the taste was fairly decent,malty a slight sweet side to it with a mild hop presence.The after taste was malty very slightly hoppy with a some what thin watery feel to this brew.Not a great brew but still it wasn't bad and would make a very good high volume drinkable brew IMO.

Nice red-brown color. Good full taste. Loses some taste if its too cold. Does have a slight coffee taste to it, which is not good. Good, not great, probabl won't get again.

Cobra (1076) - In a van, down by the river, Maryland, USA - MAY 17, 2003
I can remember when this was being brewed in the USA by Miller, but I'm glad to see it's back overseas, where it began. Compared to Miller, this stuff is great. Great, maybe, but still not the best. Poured out a deep dark brown color, not black, just brown. Aromas of toasted malts, biscuit-like also. Dry taste to it, with a coffee-ish aftertaste. Didn't have much of a head either. An ok beer at best.

burgerlicious (308) - Indianapolis, Indiana, USA - MAY 9, 2003
it's a very manly, hearty, robust beer. it's dark, it's thick, but not neccessarily outstanding.

Wrath (362) - Valparaiso, Indiana, USA - MAY 9, 2003
Nice malty aroma with small head. Malty creamy feel and taste but a little watered down. Just average for a darkie.

freekyp (1280) - Thomasville, North Carolina, USA - APR 11, 2003
Nice malty nose. Deep chestnut body with medium, but quickly diminishing head. Decent caramel malt character throughout with bit of hops at finish. Not bad.
