San Miguel Dark Lager

Reviewed 7/25/2009 (bottle): Pours a pretty dark reddish color body, with a huge tan colored head, lasting. Very strong malty aroma, some nuttiness, and lots of earthiness. Some funkiness too, like ripe bananas. Somewhat watery mouthfeel, somewhat creamy too. Malty earthy aftertaste. Some bananas in the taste. Some roasted notes. Not too shabby. Carbonated, but not harsh. A little sweet after a while.

My only Philippine rating, pours dark brown wit ha malt nose along with cardboard. Same in the flavor and this was not an old bottle.

( 12 oz bottle, provided by Cavie ) Pours a dark brown body with a small beige head. Aroma of light roast, caramel, and earth. Flavor of caramel, corn, roasted malt, and light metallic with a dry finish.

bottle thanks to cavie. deep amber with a white head. nose is matls and not much else. decent on the palate and pretty easy to drink but not much else.

Good; not great. Bit thin. Better than anticipated. Some decent roasted malt flavor, but lacking in other respects.

Bottle thanks to cavie. Ruby pour. Aroma is dark fruits, prunes, sweet malts. Flavor is dark fruits, malty.

Bottle thanks to Cavie. Reddish pour. A faint aroma that I can’t make out. Tastes a little malty with a nasty aftertaste.

Bottle from Metzlers in Denton. Dark red pour. Some foul scents. A bit sour but not bad.
