355ml bottle from American Fizz, label says "Brewed by Cerveceria Goya" in Wilkes-Barre, PA which I assume is an alias of Lion Brewery as it doesn't appear to exist.
Pours a dark cola brown. Aroma of of sweet caramelly malts, bit of chocolate. Taste is the same sweet caramel malts, chocolate, hint of rye maybe, syrupy sweetness although to be fair it's not cloying, the hops don't come through at all. Light bodied.
Unsure how to rate as it's pretty rare for me to drink something like this so just going middle of the road for now.

12 ounce bottle from Supreme Food Market of Trenton. Opaque black pour. Creamy tan head settles to a manageable cap. Sweet malty aroma is redolent of prune juice. Sweet malty flavor tastes like chocolate soda. Thin bodied.

Team social! Missing Craig S. This is not as bitter as the standard Malta Goya.

Not at all sweet like most malt beers - very earthy.
