I thought this beer was pretty good. I was quite curious as I saw it for sale in Lima Peru. Lima’s beer selection leaves much to be desired, so I was eager to try something new.
The smell is decent, as is the appearance. It does not by any means appear to be a bad beer at a glance.
Getting into it I found myself with mixed feelings. It is very drinkable and is not bad at first. I enjoyed the fact that it had a bit of a darker taste than its actual color. But the aftertaste was a bit off-putting, being somewhat sour and bitter.
Still the overall feel and taste was good, and I would drink it if offered, though probably prefer to buy something alternative.
I look forward to trying their other makes that I saw for sale.

Nov 20, 2009 Bottle with nice swing top. Pours medium brown with a large off white head. Aroma of bready malt. Flavor is of moderately roasted malt, some nuts, maybe pumpernickel. Beer is sweet, but not overly so. Nice, but not remarkable -- kind of plain. Could drink several of these, I would think.

Nov 4, 2009 12 oz from Liquor Depot, Tampa. Pours caramel brown with an off-white head. Nose is malt, cocoa, bread, earth, and some bitterness. Flavor is similar with malt, bitter cocoa, bread, and some bitterness. Blah overall, but minimal standard lager finish. Interesting beer and sweet 12oz swing top.

Oct 6, 2009 Nice beer. Got this bottle a couple of weeks ago at Surdyk’s in Minneapolis. Opened with a rousing POP and poured with a nice foamy, frothy tan head and some lace. Head mostly settled down soon. Color is clear dark amber - brown with some dark red orange highlights. Aroma was dark malt, cocoa, earth, and a little roastiness. Flavor is about the same and well balanced. Not much sweetness nor too much of anything, really. Body is nice and so is carbonation. Real easy drinking beer. Nice clean finish. Definitely a session.

Sep 30, 2009 This beers flip top opened with a pop & I am not trying to rhyme. It is amber color with a nice foamy head. The aroma is malty. The taste is very clean tasting with a good mouthfeel that that has a dash of chocolate in the finish.

Sep 19, 2009 There’s something about the smell and aftertaste that doesn’t agree with me. I can’t pinpoint it.

Sep 11, 2009 Nice aroma. Caramel malt, similar to pre-mash cereal. Nice head, but no carbonation at all after pouring. On palate nuts and caramel, but the bitterness becomes more persisten, and the rest of the flavour gets weaker. Average beer.
