Heineken Dark Lager
Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass. The pour is a dark, ruddy colour with a small tan head. The head goes quickly and leaves some lacing. Smells detected are fruity with sweet tones, like molasses. The taste includes fruit, molasses, coffee and chocolate. There is very little bitterness, and a bit of a burnt taste takes over at the finish. Mouthfeel is medium with quite a bit of carbonation. Although it goes down well enough, I would drink more than one in a sitting if not for the annoying burnt taste in the finish that lingers seemingly forever. Drinkability suffers because of the aftertaste. It's not bad; I've had worse that cost more than this. It won't be one of my regulars or even semi-regulars, though.
