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.

Not exactly a bold beer but what’s there is pleasant. Brown sugar sweetness and a little bready malt.

Full-bodied black lager. There is a sweet and malty flavor that is laced with spices and has a lingering aftertaste.

Not much taste, but for some reason I enjoy this. Pours a dark brown, almost black with a light, tan head. Aroma is faint and sweet. Taste is subtle, with a little licorice and fruit. Texture is medium build with a fizz on the palate. Overall, an easy drinking brew. Not too much taste but enjoyable.

Poured dark brown with a tan head. Very faint chocolate and licorice aroma, but also a little metallic. Did not get much flavor, maybe a little wood and coffee. Looked decent but did not offer much in the way of flavor.

On of the first beers that were not Lager available in Brazil. While definitely not one of the best black beers of the world it’s one of the best beers of Brazil.

At a tasting in "Sar Hamashkaot" in Ramat Gan, thanks Oren, bottle, pours butternut color without head, chocolate and malt aroma, sweetish taste, light body, flows, watery, overall a simple and boring beer.

portableparty (1005) - Blaine, Minnesota, USA - DEC 10, 2011
Bottle from Fogo De Chao. Pours dark brown and a little murky with a solid foamy khaki head that dissipates to a film and shows good lacing. Aroma is roasted malt and some coco with a earthy scent. Taste is bitter and malty with more what I will call earthy funk. Palate is medium and chalky and finishes dry. Not bad!

TheRealMGD (356) - Lakewood, Washington, USA - DEC 9, 2011
Bottle from 99. Root beer-colored pour with a short brown head leaving moderate lace. Molasses nose. Medium-light body and moderate carbonation. Molasses, licorice, brown sugar and a light peppery hop aroma. Finish is short, with some cane sugar. A pleasant swallow, though maybe too sweet for the style.
