| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 2, 2009 Marvelous, crisp fruity schwarzbier. Smells of grapes and malt, and is lighter and softer than it looks. This is a good six-pack to bring to a party and get drunk on. webbcreative (111), , Oklahoma, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Mar 1, 2009 Black pour, with 1 finger tan head, which dissipated quickly but leaves nice lacing throughout. Couldn’t get much discernible smell, It has a sweet sorta smell to it, but I couldn’t tell you what it is. The taste does sorta have a soy sauce characteristic about it, some kind of fruit to it also. There is a molasses taste im getting as well near the end. Don’t get any hop flavor from this one. Thin to mouthfeel to this one.
Overall this is a decent brew, just not one I will be craving ever. bconley (351), Fern Park, Florida, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 27, 2009 Xingu appears just on the edge of black, with a light brown head that fades to a blotchy film that retains well and leaves nice lacing. It has a very faint aroma... almost a whiff of soy sauce and beef jerky. There is a touch of sugar and booze in the nose. It has a medium light body that’s pretty smooth and bubbly. It has a pretty soft, light finish. There’s some roastiness to this. There’s a slight grassy sweetness, with notes of sorghum and molasses. It’s pretty sweet and mellow. This is almost like a Caribbean or a Baltic porter. Ramenen (456), San Salvador, El Salvador

Nose is musty malts, some chocolate. Taste is the same, some smokey notes and grape that work well. Finishes sugary/tart, which is interesting.
