Going from memory...had this in Punta Arenas at La Luna a week ago.
A: Moderately dark brown. Thin tan head.
S: Caramel sweetness...not much complexity, but fine as is.
T: Follow aroma with pretty much the one note of caramel malt...good, but super simple.
M: Light body. Malty sweet.
D: Hard to find a dark beer in Patagonia...this one sufficed.

From a 330 cc bottle in Santiago Chile.
Lovely red-brown body with a week before head..
Lots of caramel and medium roasted grains with a surprisingly good aftertaste.
Medium-light body and carbonation.

Brown color with a thin head with short retention.
Aroma with notes of prunes and caramels.
Flavor with notes of prunes in caramels, floral hops, grains, a bit of cloves and some chocolate. Dry aftertaste with a mild bitterness.
Light to medium body with appropriate carbonation.
Pleasant Belgian Dark Ale with some mild spices and predominant prunes and chocolate notes. Hops are in the back, but balances this out.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass in Chile

L: Pours a deep brown, nearly black color with thin tannish head.

S: Roasted malts and mild hops. Faint chocolate notes.

T/F: Roasted malts forward. A bit more yeasty than expected. Not quite sweet, and pretty tame on the flavor. Not unpleasant. Moderate carbonation. Lacking in hops at the finish.

O: A very drinkable/serviceable dark beer... especially in a country where craft beer is in its infancy. I had several of these on a hiking trip to Patagonia and they got the job done. This can't compete with your favorite brew but it's not half bad either.

Bought a 4-pack of 33cl bottles of this beer in Jumbo, Santiago, Chile.

Appearance: Dark ruby red/brown colour with a nice thick foam head that disappear quickly though.

Smell: No strong flavour of anything actually, little bit malt but no smell of hops.

Taste: It feels like a full body dark beer but no sentential hint of flavours here either, a little bit taste of malt and blackcurrent.

Mouthfeel: It's somehow a bit sweet in the month and stick a little bit on the tongue.

Overall: I expected something more of this dark ale, the appearance was greater than the actual taste, I would expect a more powerful beer of a Belgian ale style, more chocolate taste and alcohol degrees. The difference between a dark lager and this dark ale is not much. in my opinion.

Sampled in a bar in Southern Argentina

Not a remarkable beer in any way but does nothing wrong. For South American beer itt´s very passable. A little too fizzy for my liking with a strongly pronounced Sasparilla flavour.

A little lacking in body and depth with a dissapointly watery appearance.
