Xingu Black Beer...

Don't be thrown off by the name and style. Just because it's dark doesn't mean it's a stout. Only in color is it anything like a stout(well...maybe a couple other things). This brazilian beer actually gets it's color from the dark hops that are used.

Xingu is quite the mindfuck. I thought it might be thick like a stout or a porter,but it was thin like a lager. It was quite sweet though,and smelled like berries and brown sugar. The head didn't last too long,but the lace crept slowly down the glass with every sip I took. It wasn't very expensive for a 12 oz. but I doubt I'll be getting this beer very often,unless I happen to go to Brazil. If that happens,it will be one of the first things I order.

The name doesn't sound very portuguese,does it?
