COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Many Mexican beer styles today are descendants of old Austrian styles, from when Austria ruled Mexico in the late 19th century. Our Dos Perros is made with German Munich malt, English Pale malt, and Chocolate malt, and hopped with Perle and Saaz hops. To lighten the body, as many Mexican brewers do, we add a small portion of flaked maize. The result is a wonderfully bready malt aroma, balanced with some maize sweetness and a noble hop finish.

Bottle 355 ml
Aroma: peppery, spicy , malty , hint of chewy caramel with softer ending.6+
Appearance: light brown with hints of amber. Off white top. Good contrast.
Palate / Taste: Mild, mellow with hint of chestnut. Low carbonation. German-British blend comes to my mind.

jerc (5444) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 22, 2012
2012-01-19. Crisp dark mahogany body with a small beige head that fades. 3+ Mild aroma, lightly nutty or chestnutty notes, toasty accents. Flavour is similar, nutty malt character with light bitterness. 6+ Average palate is very lightly carbonated, nearly flavour. Okay, enjoyable but a bit plain I suspect that this might show itself off a bit better on tap. Bottle via trade with Suttree

JoeMcPhee (6819) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 20, 2012
Bottle at jerc and mabel’s. Deep brown pour with no head. The aroma is lightly malty. There is a little bit of light sweetness. A bit of toast and some chewy dark malt. Light malt and enough leafy hoppiness to balance it. Pretty decent.

Block (850) - West Lafayette, Indiana, USA - OCT 7, 2011
Not much aroma. Chocolatly and roasted flavor. Light to medium body. Not too strong but still flavorful. An easy to drink darker beer which goes well with dinner.

(On draught at Mere Bulles). Pours a clear mahogany with off-white head. Nice carbonation. Aroma has caramel, bread. Taste is sweet with caramel and some dark fruit. Medium bodied with an oily texture. Smooth finish. Pretty good.

elgiacomo (563) - Chickamauga, Georgia, USA - SEP 19, 2011
12oz bottled August 8, 2011. Served at around 45F.

Pours copper with a 1 finger beige head that leaves some spots of lacing and holds a small cap.

Aroma is bready with some chocolate, grass and an odd metallic sort of note. Good strength (but not enjoyable).

Flavor is bready with a touch of fruit, some caramel, rather sweet with minimal hops. Better than the aroma but not by much.

Mouthfeel is light/medium bodied, good carbonation.

OK at best...okay not really...pretty mediocre as there are some odd notes that just don’t do it for me here.
