6.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 8 Overall 6
Aroma of chocolate and lightly toasted malt. Nearly opaque brown color with brownish high lights. Light tan head, started vigorous and didn’t entirely disappaear. Starts with sharp carbonation, chocolate, and then lightly sweet toasted malt. The sweet is not sirupy, but it is the lasting finish. There does seem to be some bitterness after the lasting sweetness finally departs. Not a hoppy lager.

Ein sehr gutes Schwarzbier, bedeutend besser als einige deutsche Kollegen. Es besticht dadurch, dass es lecker süß ist, gleichzeitig ist es aber nicht so süß, dass man es nicht mehr ertragen könnt. Perfekt in gewisser Weise. Feines Bier!! Test vom 2.4.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,10,11,9,10,10 - 10,00

Dark color. Light, sweet aroma, malt. Quite sweet, frizzy; undistinguishable, with a week final. Cusqueña is better. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Cusqueña Cerveza Malta on 10 Nov 2004 at 01:28 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5. Original review text: Dark brown color, nice head. Light aroma of malt, caramel, vanilla. Very sweet, with caramel, roasted malt, light smokey note. Quite sweet finish. Simple but pleasant.

Blond color. Could be another common lager, but… very strange, flows almost sweet in the very beginning (sweeteners, no malt), suddenly replaced by a very high bitterness. Odd.

A rather light and bland version of the Cusquena Blanca, destined for the feminine market in clubs. Sold in 250 mL bottles. The taste is insipid to say the least.

Pours a dark black beer with a moka head. Sweet chocoalate coffee nose, but this beer is much too sweet, with little hops to help. Was not too bad with the ceviche. Great to prepare arroz con pollo!

Ei, tomppa, se on olutta humulaton. If you can understand my brutal Finnish. But this is very sugary, with some caramelly taste, but mostly just sugary, smooth, and underdeveloped. It is drinkable, but limited.
