Xingu

Brewed by FEMSA Cerveja Brasil
Style: Schwarzbier
Jacareí (SP), Brazil

Pours black with ruby highlights and two fingers of pitted light tan head that diminishes to a thin skin, leaving patchy lace behind. The nose is a sweet and slightly sour blend of caramel and faint cocoa. Medium-bodied and slick with soft, effervescent carbonation and a clean finish. The flavor is of caramel, chocolaty bread dough and an unexpected fruity tartness at the finish. This is a fairly tasty and interesting interpretation of the style.

Deep brown colour with a tan head. Light roasted malty aroma with fruity notes and hints of bread. Malty, fruity sweet flavor with a light roasted note. Dry, toasted malty finish with a very vague coffee note.

Bottle...pours very dark brown, appears black...no lasting head, but its the color of brown sugar...sweet yet light, and hearty...a chalky feel left on the teeth, weird...its quite tasty though and very well rounded...light aromas, mainly a sweet malt, and a little nutty...mocha, toffee, and the same nuttiness in nose and tongue...a bit of just watery beer taste with a drop of chocolate...the mouth feel is the best part of this beer, the carbonation versus the weight of the beer blend is just right...I can dig it...a sweet finish of sugar

Pours an opaque black/brown with a thick creamy choclate-milk colored head. Smells sweet and malty with aromas of fresh coffee, cacao liquer, and plumbs. Medium bodied and moderately sweet with good carbonation. The taste, again, was a pleasing and appetizing mixture of bitter dark chocolate, strong coffee, and dark fruits. Try with tiramisu or a chocolate desert.

Best S.A. beer I’ve tasted. Pours dark dark brown, almost black, with light tan head. Opaque, with flotsam in the glass. Smells of coffee, nuts, toast, and sweet fruit. Taste is subtle, but emulates the smells, with coffee roast and not too much bitterness. Very solid alternative to a Sam Adams black lager.

Nothing really special about this beer! My buddy let me get a rate in asheville...Thanks Steve! But like I said its alright, but nothing special! Pours a dark brown color, smells of caramel and roasted malts. Flavor is suprisingly sweet.

A beer from South America that doesn’t suck and it’s not a pale lager? Amazing. With all sincerity, this is a really nice beer, let alone a really nice schwarzbier. I’ve had two schwarzbier’s recently that were both really tasty, and that’s always a good thing. A sweet, caramel-like malty aroma, with a very light roasted note. Looking at it you’d think you’d get huge coffee notes but it wasn’t to be. Excellent color, with a fantastic three finger thick tan head. Flavors melded nicely with chocolate malts, black walnuts, and a bit of molasses. Nice beer, no matter where it’s from.
