Light straw. Oversized bubbles. Light grass, light corn notes; very faint malt. Lacking in body. Molson is pushing this beer to the moon, so I'm sure it will do well, but it's crap.

Black with large lasting head. Toasty malt nose promises more than the flavor delivers. Rather thin bodied and brown sugar sweet.

I was drawn to this beer by its odd name, and the fact that I''d never had a beer from Brazil before. The aroma is surprisingly sweet, almost fruity, which is also what it present in the initial flavor. This flavor disipates quickly but leaves a nice, lingering coffee-ness on the tongue. Overall, however, this beer tastes like it''s supposed to be a stout, but they left certain things out. Nice, but not something I''ll spend two and change a bottle for ever again.

After a resample, it is still rather thin, and very sugary. The development of malt flavour leaves a lot to be desired. Like a Purkmistr, Jamtlands Heaven or Sprecher Black Bavarian.

This one pisses me off! I remember first trying this some 10 years ago - a wonderful bittersweet chocolate, caramel-chocolate candy malt, with some spiciness that seemed a combination of the hops and fermentation characteristics. So what is the POS in my glass now? If I closed my eyes I could mistake it for swill lager, yet with a touch of carastan malt for a bare hint of chocolate-roast flavors. Semi-sweet finish. Sweeter up front with cheap tasting malts and corn. Still nice looking, a darkish red turning black.
