Xingu

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

Bottle. Deep reddish brown in color, with a small, thick chocolate head. The aroma is sugary sweet, with notes of sweet coffee, herbal notes, and dried fruit. Upon tasting, this beer has a rich, full mouthfeel, flavor notes of sweet, ripe dried fruit, sweet dark cocoa, and somewhat of a dry, toasted finish. Really good and worth a try.

Pours very dark little head no lacing. Tastes much lighter than you would expect. A very drinkable black beer

Deep clear amber brown, light sweet malty aroma. Thin bodied, smooth mouthfeel. Hints of anise in the flavor. A little waterier than I had expected but easy to drink.

From Tesco, this is a lovely dark tawny red, head is off white but dies very quickly to leave a thin patchy covering, so loses a mark for that! Good body witha nice toasted malt palate with hints of coffee and caramel, good finish. A good flavoursome beer, pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. This was 4.6% not 4.4%!

Bottle. Pours black with a light brown head. Aroma is very malty with a hint of toffee and a hint of spice. Flavor is not as I expected out of a dark beer - rather mellow, yet very smooth and creamy. Not bad.

Pretty much black, thin tan head that faded to nothing very quickly. Licorice, faint hint of a nice smelling dog, dark fruit, jam, berries. Pleasantly surprised, not astounding of course but very ok.

Good beer, pours black with a nice tan head. medium aroma, easy to drink dark beer.

Pours black into a shaker. Tan head with good retention recedes leaving spot lacing to skim surface. Sour cherry/strawberry starburst aromas. Thin with cocoa and cream. Abrupt licorice and fruit finish.
