Medium brown head. Opaque black body. Sugary metallic caramel pudding aroma with chocolate notes. Sweet-dryish milky chocolatey taste with earthy notes. Mid-bodied. Very mild and smooth mouthfeel. Dryish roasty chocolatey aftertaste with coffee and caramel notes. Some funky character to it, too. Nice and drinkable, and very smooth. Interesting. (0.275l bottle, Wellcome, Lohas Park, Hong Kong.)

330ml bottle from Tesco’s. Another cynical move from InBev to exploit the 2.8% ABV market with an exotic foreign brand name. This pours pale straw with a loose white head; and an aroma of musty grains and cardboard; there’s a weak grainy body, and a sweet finish with a touch of grassy hop. This is probably fine when chilled down to a temperature where you can’t actually taste it.

50cl can. Pours pale gold with a billowing cream coloured head; the aroma has grain, stewed vegetables and alcohol; the flavours not to bad with sour grains and a syrupy texture; and the alcohol isn’t too apparent on the warming finish.

440ml can from Tesco. Straw with a fast fading white head; corn syrup aroma; thin with a grainy flavour that’s not to sweet; and a trace of real hops. This is nowhere near as bad as I expected, actually quite drinkable.

Bottle at home in Barbados. Pours to form a nice looking drink, yellow tan head. Good smokey aroma. Nice balance of sweet and bitter, some coffee and mocha. Good beer, better than I had hoped. Getting a stock in the fridge

Noticeably weak in strength, but still retains a decent, if not commercial lager taste.

Apparently this stuff was brewed in Trinidad; I found it in Hong Kong. And now I read it’s supposed to be a Boston brew. Whatever - pours very black with good head, and a soft red aura to it. Aroma of sugar and coffee-barley, but in a smooth fake way. Flavour is heavy on the coffee with sugar and a slightly watery finish. About what I expected of a macro stout.
