COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle: Fiiltered
A black lager which was launched after studies by American anthropologist Alan D Eames into Amazon beer. The beer is claimed to be based on recipes for ancient Amazon beer, though critics are sceptical as neither the ingredients nor the production method match Eames’ studies. Lagering and hops were unknown to the Amazon Indians.

12oz bottle...pours out dark not quite totally black with light head. this is a very sweet malty flavor, possibly sugar or molasses and malt. is there any hops in this...i would think there has to be to equal out the sweetness of the malt but not traceable in the taste. good for one but wouldnt make a habit out of this.

Bottle. This beer is bizarre. Appearance aroma and taste are deceptive. This dark beer smells like a pilsner but tastes like a really sweet lager. I highly enjoyed this brew and recommend it to anyone that enjoys beer at all.

A decent black lager enjoyed during the Final Four games. Pours very dark. Aroma is very malty. The beer overay is too sweet for me.

Light mouthfeel with slightly creamy molasses flavor. Lightly hopped and creamy malt. Very clean finish. I liked it a lot.

12 oz. bottle in a Pils glass at Paladar Latin Kitchen. Heavy, opaque black pour with minimal white head. Cider aroma with hints of licorice. Like nothing I’ve ever tasted in a beer. Unique cider and anise flavors. Not something I would drink all the time, but might try again in a few years.

Unique enough to score points. Easy to drink this burnt motor oil pour. Not sure where the smokiness is. Very smooth with above average malt notes.

Black with a very thin head, slight malt aroma, very sweet (almost shandy sweet) malty taste, not as smooth as the commercial description would have you believe in fact it was too fizzy and the mouth feel was fluffy. I fount it very hard to categorise but settled on ordinary.
