Best by 9/20/15.

Pours an opaque super dark brown with a foamy dark khaki head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Tiny dots of lace drip into the remaining beer on the drink down. Smell is of toasted malt, caramel, and slight nut aromas. Taste is much the same with burnt toast, caramel, and slight molasses flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of roast bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is an average beer that is drinkable, but nothing very memorable in my opinion.

Serving type: bottle.

355 ml bottle in Belem. 4.8%  Schwarzbier

Clear red-brown but so dark as to be opaque in the glass.  Weak head but some spotty lacing. 

FEEL: Light-medium body with lively, medium-high carbonation.  

smell: toffee; medium dark and dark roasted malts.
 
Taste: nearly as good as the aroma.  Has more dark roast, especially in the aftertaste. Some chocolate as well.  Lightly bitter aftertaste.

Black ruby color with a one finger aired head with ok retention.
Aroma of caramels, faint chocolate and dark fruits.
Some watery caramel and roasted malt notes with hints of earthy hops and a bit of spicy yeast.
Watery body with good carbonation.
Started well with a good promise, but its flavor and body were disappointing. It felt to me like a brown ale that had some water poured to the cup and that had barely any hops. Just not worth it, nowadays with much better local options.

355ml bottle served in a weizen.

A: Pours a dark brown clear color forming a medium bubbled tan head. Medium retention and some lacings left

S: Smells mainly roasted malts and caramel

T: Roasted malts, caramel. Notes of citric hops. Very mild bitterness. In overall a crispy dry taste. Not bad if compared with the majority of the Brazilian dark ales

M: Light watery body. Good carbonation. Mild roasted aftertaste

O: Good drinkability but not a big deal

A - A small, medium tan head, on a dark brown body with amber highlights. Average head retention and minimal lace.

S - Nutty caramel and a hint of chocolate with some spicy hops in the background.

T - The same nutty caramel as the aroma with some toffee. Molasses In the middle that fades to chicory and moderate bitterness in the finish.

M - Medium-thick body, moderate carbonation, and a slightly dry finish.

D - I'm not sure what style they were going for, but the results are quite nice. Malty with good balance and a nice dark sugar character.

Devassa Negra is a very good dark ale...much better than the Maizbeir that you can find here in Brazil. This beer was dark in appearance and came with a big Chopp head. The smell include chocolately sweetness and malt. The taste was a tinge of sweetness but was powered by good malt. The mouthfeel was pretty light and easy drinking. A very good beer that provides Brazil with some diversity.
