Dark mahogany color. Pour a little head. Aroma of roasted malt, very mild with a hint of sulfur.
Good carbonation. Very mild taste, a little watery, fortunately not overly sweet, in that matter true to its style (Schwarzbier). Good drinkability but a little tasteless. Hops not easily perceived.

(Served in a strange)

A- This beer pours a dense glowing auburn body with a sticky beige thin film and a rapid carbonation of microbubbles forming strands that trail from the base.

S- The soft dark toffee malt note is clean and lagered with a slight sulfury tangy hint in the finish.

T- The crisp clean soft pale malt has a slight tartness in the finish with a roasted malt hint in the finish with no bitterness and just a touch of sulfur.

M- This beer has a creamy full fizz in the finish and no alcohol heat.

O- The crisp clean beer has some nice black malt hints that come through when it warms with no bitterness from malt or hops. Easy to drink just a bit thin.

Brazilian Schwarzbier, never knew such a thing existed... dark mahoghany brown pour, tan foam forms a feeble broken skim on the surface. Spotty froth on one side. Looks like a black tea in the light. Nondescript wet barley nose, toasted and tea like. Spiral jetty foam pattern.

Sort of papery and oxidized, light toastiness, a little metallic twang. Light and watery feel, almost tangy which doesn't seem quite right. Dull flavor, somewhat drinkable, but not the most well developed that's for sure.

Obrigado Paulo e Duda!

look: 2.5 | smell: 2 | taste: 3 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 3
Straight pour from twist-off, foil-wrapped 355ml bottle to small tumbler; best by date of February 22, 2012 printed on label (220212)

Appearance (2.5): Dark in the glass, almost black, but a deep mahogany shines through when held up to the light. The head starts at about a finger, diminishes to none rather quickly, but while it’s there it’s a nice, rich khaki color.

Smell (2.0): Mild in the nose, not a lot going on, but some basic barley / grain with maybe something roasty, very faint.

Taste (3.0): Simple malt profile, light barley with a mild roasted note, some blackened grain action, almost a bit smoky. Very mild. Just a hint of some darker sweetness in the background. Yeast is very neutral, don’t taste it, and there’s no hop note to speak of.

Mouthfeel (2.5): Smooth, fine bubbles coat the tongue, but they disappear pretty quickly. Body is insubstantial, and there’s no hop oiliness or anything like that—just light and smooth. Nothing special.

Overall (3.0): This tastes very, very similar to regular Bohemia, but with a roasty note. I’d actually be willing to bet that it’s the same recipe, but lowering the hops and adding maybe a bit of molasses for a hint of dark sweetness, and some roasted component in the malt profile. It’s not a joyless beer, but I’m not going to go out of my way for it, either.
