Xingu Black Beer
Purchased from Great Spirits, Huntsville, AL. A: Very black coloration, thin khaki-colored head that sticks around and leaves quite a bit of lacing. Nice presentation. S: Sort of like a mild porter. Vaguely sweet aroma, vaguely grapes and raisins, with a mocha coffee aroma mixed in. Decent, but nothing fancy. T: Heavily fruit flavor, strangely like cantaloupe. Very sweet, with notes of cherries and chocolate. Strangely, I don't care for this very much -- I find it cloying and unpleasant after awhile. M: Velvety smooth and luxurious. D: I'll never drink more than one of these. This six-pack cost me $12.99 -- I'll pass on it in the future. There are much better beers for much less money.
