Description
In 1908 Ernesto Günther and a group of investors founded in the city of Cusco, a branch of the Cervecería Alemana Günther & Tidow. In 1939 Cervecera Alemana Günther & Tido changed its name to Compañía Cervecera del Sur del Perú (Cervesur) and increased its production. In 2000 the company with its plants in Arequipa and Cusco, and with the popular brand Cusqueña, becomes part of the Backus Group (Backus y Johnston), thereby consolidating itself to the point of turning it into a company capable of competing in a globalized environment. Finally, in 2015, the Backus Group becomes part of AB InBev.

At a tasting, thanks DSG, smallish head, a touch intense yellow colour, aroma of candy, honey and something fruity and overipe, strange unpleasant bitterness and some metalic notes, what else can i say about this one.

Bottle from Pacific Liquor in San diego, CA. Pours brown/black with a foamy tan head. Smells kind of like a schwarzbier. Pretty sweet taste. Not getting much bitter. Seems like more of a sweet dark lager than a burnt malt stout. Ok, but not something I’d seek out. The label subtext is "cerveza malta". Malty beer. That pretty much fits.
