An opaque, full-bodied black lager with mild bitterness. Extravagant treacle and anise aromas.

    This beer was heavenly out of a bottle, I can only imagine how good it must be straight from the tap. Dark, crisp, and flavorful.

    Characteristics: dark roasty tasty

    This beer is incredibly flavorful for a dark beer. I’m not sure how much I like the almost nutty flavor, but at least it’s there. It also seems more carbonated than most beers - almost like a soda, but not quite.

    Characteristics: carbonated dark nutty

    Surprisingly light body for a dark beer. Nice carbonation and very smooth. First tried this at a local Brazillian restaurant.

    Amazingly, this “black” beer had the feel of a much lighter beer. Even my wife (not a dark beer lover) enjoyed the taste.

    I drank this as part of a 10-beer “Beers of the World” set.

    Characteristics: dark roasted silky smooth

    It’s very smooth and easy to drink, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it. It’s vaguely sweet, vaguely coffee-like - all rather muted, and way lighter than I was expecting.

    Characteristics: coffee smooth sweet
