Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a glass. Clear dark brown with small beige head. Aroma is light chocolate, medium body, lower carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is medium light chocolate.

Twist off cap bottle, rare find. Big & black, interesting foamy head. Stuffy nose. Spiced black beer. Not sure if this is really a porter or if its one of those veggie spiced brews, you know, Spice/Herb/Vegetable. Yes, dark beer spirit with a spiced macro feel about it. Odd, medicinal at times near the finish. Certainly is a beer.

Light brown without much head. Thinnish, light choc notes and a fair bit of vanilla as well. Kind of thin and light.

New Beer Distributors, NYC bottle: I think that this is being contract brewed by Cerveceria Mexicana in Tecate now... Anyway, it pours a dark muddy brown with a quickly dissipating head that leaves no lacing. Aroma is milk chocolate... and I guess horchata, although who really knows. Taste is pretty sweet. Body is pretty carbonated. Pretty simple, but pleasant enough. I suppose I will try the other beers that they got.
