Xingu

Brewed by FEMSA Cerveja Brasil
Style: Schwarzbier
Jacareí (SP), Brazil

Serve in Dimpled mug, Lager glass, Stein

Dark pour with an active tan head that sticks to the glass. It is think and syrupy sweet with an all around molasses flavor.

12 oz. bottle from The Party Source. Pours near black with a rocky tan head that fades quickly but laces the glass. Aroma is of roasted malt, molasses, licorice, yeast, and brown sugar. The flavor is sweet, roasty, and resiny. Light-medium bodied, and a slick, watery mouthfeel. Quick, dry, resin finish.

Flavor of a lager, but black as a porter. Dark malt tones with honey. May not be a beer I revisit often, but for a black lager, it’s good

I had this beer at fogo de chou, a brazilian restaurant, this beer pours very dark with a huge brown head, this is a great beer to drink while eating meat. Over all this is a graet beer.

UPDATED: MAR 25, 2010 Pours a very dark brown with a rocky tan head. Nice lacing. The aroma has a lot of roasted barley, some molasses, anise, and light grain. Interesting flavor. Mostly sweet roast and coffee, with a bit of tart dark fruit. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Abrupt finish that leaves a flavor I can’t quite explain. Weird beer, but in a great way.

EBF08. Dark red brown, beige head. Aroma is roasted barley and citrus notes. Flavour is sweet caramel and brown sugar.

Bottle. Pours a very dark brown almost completely opaque body. The head was seriously long lasting tan color which reminded me of a fluffy cloud. Nice lacing. Very weak aroma of roasted malts, yeast and some bready notes. Smooth, creamy medium bodied mouthfeel. Flavor is lightly roasted malts, with faint sweet caramel. Watery finish. This beer was pretty mild, not bad, but missing some good flavors and aroma I’m looking for.

Bottle. Yeast and licorice aromas. A little sweet, a little roasted taste. Slick oily palate, unpleasant aftertaste.
