Poured from a 275ml. bottle, best before August 2010 (saw it after but it's good).
Appearance: Glass is nearly full of a cascading milk chocolate colored head. Body is densely brown and the head lasts quite a while.
Smell: Molasses cookies & caramel. Not overly sweet.
Taste: Sweet for sure but restrained. Not much molasses as it's more caramel geared. Some chocolate & coffee on the lips.
Mouthfeel: Low carbonation with a good enough body though a bit thin.
Overall: I'm a sucker for malt beverages so i enjoyed this one. Middle of the road and a worthy alternative.

I must admit, I almost feel bad about adding this non-alcoholic malt beverage to such a remarkable website, but in the interest of completeness, I feel even poor drinks should be included. What can I say about Malta? Well, it is attractively bottled. Carib Brewery says of this beer, "Malta Carib has a pleasant, sweet taste, enhanced by a hint of bitterness derived from hops and is a wholly natural drink made from malted barley containing energy boosting carbohydrates, minerals and proteins all needed for physical well being." And if you believe all that, I have a great bridge to sell you...
To put it bluntly, Malta was the worst beer or beer-like product I have ever tried, and I once ran afoul of a Milwaukee's Best Light! But maybe my review will shed some light on this drink:
It pours a dark brown-black and becomes tar black wih a frothy tan-and-khaki head that fades quite fast. The best thing about Malta is its smell, which reminded me of a mocha cappuccino that you might get from Seattle's Best coffee or a second-rate Starbuck's. Malta starts exactly like heavily sweetened and lightly creamed coffee. It tastes (not surprisingly) like coffee and chocolate, thought neither is very pleasing. I thought it had no beer-like flavor or texture at all. Malta is nonetheless full-bodied, and its finish is creamy and a litle like a soft drink. This concoction's aftertaste is heavy and milky in flavor.
Perhaps Carib Brewery is right and I've been too harsh on Malta Carib, but if you are ever brave enough to try this drink, don't expect to be reminded of anything but a half-baked stout.
