Pours darkest black with a thick, creamy tan head. Aroma is very intense: coffee bean, dark chocolate, bitter herbs, liquorice drop. Taste is silky, fresh and savoury, with an astounding bitter finish that lingers long.

Bottled, thanks andrepintado! Cloudy amber, coarse head. Generous citric nose with some passionfruit. Dryish with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Lots of fresh hops, citrus and grass. Long bitter finish. Nice!

Bottle from Cerveteca Lisboa. It pours hazy amber with a medium white head. The nose is toasty, brown bread, mild sweetness, cereal and touch of toffee. The taste is smooth bitterness, brown bread, cereal, light caramel, toasty malts, light grass and pepper with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A well-rounded malty lager. Works rather nicely.

Bottle from Cerveteca Lisboa. It pours clear amber with a decent off-white head. The nose is sweet, juicy, peach, passion fruit, stewed orange, candied peel, light spice and bread. The taste is crisp, bitter-sweet, juicy citrus, orange, grapefruit rind, peach, pepper, piney resins and light caramel with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Crisp, juicy and rather quaffable. One of the best Portuguese beers out there. For real.
