Xingu

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

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of malt as well as notes of dust and licorice. The flavor is very sweet with notes of malt, licorice, some dusty hops and some spices, leading to a dry but sweet finish.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Maria. Clear, reddish brown with a light brown head. Medium-bodied, hard roasted malt accents, a light acidity and some vague fusty touches. Short and dry finish. Not much Schwarzbier about this. 290308

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown, creamy with a nice brown head. Aroma is sweet malty, slight chocolat. Flavour is mainly sweet with a creamy mouthfeel, very classic caribbean/south american stoutish beer, simply too sweet, but better than some of the others I’ve had.

Bottled. Reddish black with rich beigre head. Odd cork aroma. Mild, sweet and velvetty with spun sugar and a pleasant mouthfeel.

Bottle @<a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/forums/cnudde-ølsmagn target=_new> Cnudde Tasting.. Medium brown color with a average, creamy to frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, light light brown head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, syntetic brown sugar. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. (290308)

Bottled (thanks Papsoe!). Blac colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is caramel malts, rubbert and mild notes of fruityness. Flavour is mildly roasted malts, wood and some caramel. Watery and not very strong flavours/aromas. Some underlying sweetish sour grainyness all the way through.

Bottle. Black coloured with a medium sized beige head. Aroma of malts, wheat bread and grain with sulphuric notes. Sweet and light roasted flavour of caramel with notes of liquorice and chocolate. Almost no bitterness. Overrated.
