Cerveza Negra has roasted malty notes which extends to its taste. It is full-flavored and full bodied. Bitterness is moderate but still smooth.

Draft at the Queen Bee, Bangkok. Poured a clear dark brown with a frothy light tan head. The aroma is light sweet malt. The flavour is moderate to strong sweet with a rich roasty sweet toffee caramel, liqourice bitter palate. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation.

Tap at Orange Peel for Steph's drumming. Black pour with big foamy tan head. Aroma is malty dark lager. Taste too - surprisingly rich and malty. Sort of metallic bitter lager taste underneath but not too much. Smooth palate but not heavy. Nice - way more interesting than regular San Miguel.

Light Cappuccino and toffee notes. Slightly sour mouth with some lingering chocolate notes in the finish. Best beer from these guys.

Bottle brought back to UK from Cebu by Matt. I’ve had this in Philippines some years ago, and recall enjoying it then, and wasn’t disappointed this time around. Pours a dark purple/black with a small tan colour head. Sweet toffee malt aroma, with dark fruits. Quite heavily sweet, light bitterness, medium body, oily texture. Long bittersweet finish. Decent enough brew.

Clear reddish brown color with an ample tan head. Sweet roasted malt nose is pleasantly subtle. Slightly bittersweet roasted malt has chocolate notes. Nice body and complexity.

She pours a dark brown colored body with a slim finger’s worth of white foamy head that dies immediately. Some light lacing coats the sides of the glass but ends up sliding at a good pace.
The smell has a gentle soothing molasses/dark fruits invading my nose in a very dark sweet sort of way, comes through slightly smoky and roasty, some brown sugar ends up entering in more so as it warms.
The taste is mainly sweet through the previously mentioned flavors, slight sweet sugary aftertaste but nothing too invading as its slightly partial; no finish.
The palate sits about a medium of sorts on the body with a slightly moderate amount of carbonation coating the mouth and tongue in a decent way.
Overall, this is a decent Euro dark lager and I will commend San Miguel for taking a style that isn’t widely accepted and making a decent stab at it. For me, I think I could have this again even though I don’t know how fresh this is.
