3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
This beer pours and opaque black. It has very little bitterness and is decently creamy and tart.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Deep brown with tan head and ruby notes at the bottom of the glass. There’s a sultana/prune sort of aroma of darker caramalts and sweetness, but it isn’t terribly strong (which isn’t a bad thing). It’s sweet at first and then really sweet. Chocolately caramel milkshake sort of flavours and a small hint toward bitterness. The finish isn’t enduring and veers toward the rather uncomplicated caramel that is this beer’s hallmark. Not great, but not bad.

UPDATED: NOV 17, 2011 A nutty roasty aroma beer with a roasted sweet malt taste. The pour was a nice black typical schwarzbier pour, but that was unfortanetly, the best part of the beer. EH. Average.
Gift from Doug Jameson. Got to re-rate. I enjoyed it better the second time around.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle - Small thick head, very dark brown color, sweet malty taste, not as heavy as it looks, not bad but just not my type of beer

12 oz bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a tan head. Brown sugar and dark fruits in the aroma. Flavor has brown sugar and again some dark fruits, biscuit, with a light lagery palate. Sweetish aftertaste. It’s just okay.
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottled. Pours black with a mediumsized beige head.nose of caramel and notes of fruit and berries. Sweet flavour with roasted malts, caramel and fruity + licorice notes.Light to medium bodied, creamy texture and average carbonation. Ends up more dry with a tiny bitterness. I think this must be an OK Southamerican beer.

Served in a pint glass at Texas de Brazil steakhouse in Las Vegas, NV. Black with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malt. Flavor is roasted malt, slight chocolate. Texture is very creamy and smooth. I really enjoyed this one.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
I was very skeptical of a beer from Brazil but I was quite surprised. Poured dark brown with a faint tan head. Roasted malt aroma, black licorice, and some bread notes. Flavor drifts towards a slightly more flavorful lager. Certainly not as bad as I was expecting.
