Well, I just empty my cardboard case with 12 bottles of this brew in it. One for each month of the year I guess. 2003 Noche Buena Special Edition. Indeed is one-of-a-kind beer, otherwise the brewery will make it all year around. Creamy, Sweet, Refreshing. I love it!

Beautiful! just the words to describe this beautiful Christmas lager. I had some of this when I was in Mexico bet. Christmas and New Years, I even smuggled some back.

This beer is one of the best Mexican beers. I am not generally a fan of dark beers like this, but for this I’ll make an exception.

UPDATED: AUG 29, 2007 a wonderful seasonal brew that is fairly hard to find, but absolutely one of the best brews from Mexico!

Tastes like a classic american dark lager, toasty, biscuity with just the right balance of noble hops to offset the sweetness. The only negative is the slightly sulfury nose. Overall great session beer during the holidays and goes good with all types of festive feasts, from the ususual turkey and trimmings to classic mexican dishes like posole and tamales.

UPDATED: JAN 30, 2006 Great beer!, seasonal but great. String, dark and strong. it’s name is taken after the flower "Noche Buena" and because is seasonal: Winter, you know Christmas Eve.

bought as a single at my local HEB, and quite excited to try it .. . 2011 bottle .. . pours a medium penny brown .. medium foam, pretty good lacing .. . quite a nice feel, a really nice mouthfeel actually .. . light playful flavours, and for the close to 6%- way to easy to drink .. . very good and easily one of the best beers to come out of mexico! .. . http://www.gifbin.com/bin/012010/1263382738_theroc

Actually a decent vienna. I bit dark for the style in a deep amber brown color with a thick tan head. Smooth feel with both a munich malt sweetness and a dry hoppy finish.
