0.33l bottle. Black body, beige head. Both aroma and taste of plums, cherries and some chocolate. Mostly sweet but has a hint of sourness to it. It’s more like a porter for me because the roasted malty character that resembles a stout is not so highlighted in this brew. Not extraordinary, but definitely nice.

Dorada, de espuma discreta, que pronto desaparece. Aroma dulce, ligeramente a madera y licor. Cuerpo medio y tono general dulce, igualmente con notas de madera y alcohol. Todo algo artifiicial, aunque se bebe.

0.33l bottle. Clear amber body, white head. Aroma of sweet grains, some booze and minimal cardboard. The alcohol is very much in the center of the sip escorted by some sticky caramel and grains. The finish is quite harsh. I won’t by cases of it, that’s for sure.

0.33l bottle. Amber body, thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel, grains and some stone fruits. Traces of cloves and wood. Taste of caramel, grains, burnt sugar and some cloves. The finish has hint of of whisky to it. Quite flat with a light medium body. I expected the whisky and the oak to be more noticeable. Not bad though.

Not bad for a pale lager, nothing much going on aroma wise, typical adjuncty flavor. Not a great beer.

Amber colour, moderate head. Sweetish aroma of bisquits, vanilla, caramel, butterscotch. Light to medium body. Sweet malty taste with notes of bisquits & caramel. Minimal bitterness. Only decent. I expected a bit more I guess.

dark brown, almost black colour, 2 inches of beige head, which, unfortunately collapses quite quickly; aroma and taste of a typical stout with some dried plum and cherry and woody-ash notes and slight sweet dominance; nothing really special, but still good to drink
