Another of boatshoes' gifts to me following his return from China last year! The CANQuest (TM) (naively) never envisioned including such beers and it is a pleasure and an honor to be able to do so. Part of the delay was so that I could access a decent camera in order to add a picture of it to the site.

From the CAN: Other than "Na'ale Beer Stoutbeer", I CANnot impart anything due to its inclusion of Chinese lettering. Sorry.

Once more, the Crack & Glug was replaced by the rare Pop! & Glug, given a modern-day pop-top CAN not seen in the US since the late-1970's/early 1980's. A finger of thick, deep-mocha head quickly formed and then began to slowly fall, leaving sticky lacing in its wake. Color was a deep, dark-brown with burgundy highlights at the edges. Nose had an odd combination of sweet and sour - chocolaty sweet underlain with a mild sourness. Mouthfeel was thin and watery with a metallic bitterness initially, giving way to a chocolaty sweetness on the tongue. Finish was more of the same - metallic chocolate. boatshoes felt it should be listed as a Black Lager/Scwartzbier, but I am going with what it had on the CAN. A change CAN always be requested, I suppose. At any rate, no matter what the style, it was not worth seeking out.
