284ml bottle
A: opaque black with tan head (small)
S:black molasses with sweet liquorice ... but not clean or fresh as could be.
T: very complex: dark liquorice candy, root beer, dark roast coffee, dark fruit cake. Slightly sticky and bitter at the end. Warm alcoholic finish. Not big and bold but definitely full flavoured. Quite interesting actually.
M: medium full bodied.
O: Lots of flavours going on but I just wish it tasted fresher and more "alive". It's dark and brooding and that liquorice/root beer taste sticks with me. Interesting and worth tasting just to experience it.

284 ml. bottle with blue cap into a hotel drinking glass where we stayed in San Pedro.

Appearance: Definitely lighter than I'd imagined, with red coming through when light hits it. A mocha-colored head's present that dissipates fairly quickly but there's still a nice ring around the edge of the body of the brew.

Smell: Initial faint fruitiness like berry jam, mild roastiness, some mild chocolate, and maybe a hint of coffee there also. The fruit notes, though, remain fairly dominant throughout.

Taste: Again, initial fruit, backed by some mild char, a bit of roastiness, and moderate bitterness. Finishes initially with some dark fruit, then char and mild bitterness, but the finish really doesn't linger at all.

Mouthfeel: On the lighter, more watered-down side of the things for a stout, with a slight burst of carbonation at the finish. Lighter to medium-bodied overall.

Overall: Not bad for the other Belikin, especially at 6.5%, but don't look for something heavy on the roasted and charred malt if that's what you're after.

Brought back to the states from my sister and poured into my green lantern pint glass. Pours with minimal foam along with the typical malty smell. Not really out of the ordinary from this English stout. While I expected some great scores from my sister this wasn't exactly what I had in mind. Still this beer is desirable and tastes quite great.Who knew the Mayans made English stouts???

Great treat this was, and was consistently shocked with how good a dark beer would be from the carribean. Red Stripe's Dragon Stout should have tipped me off that it was possible.

A: Great porter like syrup character. The head was a little small, but the color was very appetizing.

S: nothing stood out to me here excpet the faint sweetness.

T: Great taste of burnt cane sugar with chocolate/caramel notes. The taste could have lasted longer and had a stronger finish of bitterness either from a chocolate or hop, but beggars cant be choosers.

M: syrupy texture making think it was a porter due to the thinness of the body. Washes well and makes a nice finish.

O: Excellent beer, best from the region I have had while in the region. This should be imported!

Pours inky black with a foamy coffee colored head that quickly shrinks to a small ring on the glass. Moderate lacing sticks around. The aroma is of coffee and dark chocolate with slightly tart, vinous element. The taste follows suit with lots of black malt coffee and cocoa flavors and also some more grapey, vinous notes. Hops are low in bitterness and flavor throughout. Booze heat is immodest for the relatively low gravity. The mouthfeel is almost oily in texture and well carbonated with tiny bubbles. The finish is chocolatey and off dry.

This is a nice Stout, refreshing and balanced. Its not as hoppy or rich as Guinness Foreign Export, but its very decent. A must try if you're ever in Belize.

Reviewed from notes. Served in a tumbler at duPlooy's Jungle Lodge in the Cayo district of Belize. Pours a deep brown with red highlights and the edges and a half inch, loose, khaki-colored head that dissipates into a consistent, sudsy skim embedded with tiny ringlets. Nose expresses a light roast and a slight char and perhaps a little nuttiness. Aromas of something slightly metallic also come out in the nose. Taste follows nose - nutty, roasty and a trace of lactose. There's also a faint metallic quality and trace of artificial sweetener at the finish and a slightly bitter, charred aftertaste. Mouthfeel is medium-light (but closer to light) with an even carbonation that culminates in a slight prickle at the back of the throat. All and all, a decent dry stout - not something I would readily seek out, but a respectable example of the style.

So I got this beer from my sister, who went to Belize for a week. This stout poured a dark brown/black color with a light brown head. The head was weak and diminished rapidly. The initial smell of the beer was nothing...after swirling and smelling for a good minute or two, I decided on a light roasted caramel, with a very subtle hint of coffee. The initial taste of the beer was burnt caramel and finished with a more pronounced bitter roastiness. The brew has a medium to full body, with light carbonation.

I had this beer with some fresh home grilled burgers, and I have to say it tasted excellent when paired with a food. For the most part, (pre-food) it lacked a bit in flavor. It had the english stout feel, but not the taste. Overall, it's a nice beer to try, and it is also not a full pint. If I had another bottle, I'd definately drink it, so unless I'm in Belize I won't be hungering for more.

I searched all over when I was in Belize for this brew and could not find it. My wife however surprised me with a six pack of this upon my arrival on board the Carnival Valor.
Pours a dark brown with the faintest of garnet highlights when held to light. A stingy almost tan head recedes entirely to quickly. I get very little out of the nose. Corn masa is very prominent with hints of dark fruit if I stare at the glass and imagine a bit. Taste hits me with toffee and caramel up front then leads into hints of dark fruit and maybe some chocolate if I close my eyes and think of willy wonka a bit. Slightly bitter aftertaste. This is a really light "stout" maybe it's appropriate for the scorching heat they normally see in Belize. I found it rather pedestrian while sampling from NH in the 65 degree heat. Medium body and carbonation level, thin watery mouthfeel. I hate to hate on this, but as a stout this is not all that great. Compared to the light lagers available in Belize I would naturally chose this one as I am a stout head I love the dark malts. Compared to other stouts this one would rank pretty low in my book.

not quite black, some mahogany tones in the light. clear with a minimal, diminishing light tan head. faint aromas of dark caramel, dark dried fruit, and maybe some nuttiness. pretty big dark malt sweetness is not quite balanced by a lack of roasty or hop bitterness. roundish and full-bodied. lightly carbonated.

Pours a pitch black color with a big tan head. Head falls slow leaving decent lacing.

Deep fruit aroma. Plums. This is not a stout aroma. Does have a bitter smell in the background.

Rather thin taste. Nice malts. Odd for a stout but somewhat common I'm finding for a Caribbean stout. Reminds me of Dragon from Jamaica but milder. Slight bitter aftertaste.

Thinner than I would have thought in the mouth. Still, slightly chewy.

Average drinking. Interesting for a stout and to be honest maybe more my style.
