Can (PBF, courtesy of omhper). Dark ruby color, small brown head. Lactose, sour milk, caramel aroma. Like drinking very bad red wine. Harsh, sticky roastyness, odd grainy flavors, glue and old coffee. Not too bad ... .... or ...

Canned. Deep ruby red colour, small beige head. Aroma is sourish redwinelike stuff. Flavour is quite much the same. Some mild roasted notes as well as metal too. Rather harsh.

Canned. Dark brown, small beige head. Slight yeasty/citric nose. Sweetish at first, then puckering dry. Burnt rubber kicks in directly and gradually turns into unpleasant chemical inky bitterness. Thin and very harsh. Almost as unpleasant as a foreigner feels working outside late night in the shadier districts of Lagos...

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with notes of metal, and so is the flavor. The body is thin. Thanks yespr for sharing.
