Handwritten notes: How to describe a truly unique thing? Step 1: try it yourself. Tastes like Djarum Blacks.... a very good and refreshing novelty beer. I could not in a million years see buying a 6 of this and drinking it in the course of a night. It just wouldn't happen. You'd be two or three into it and realize that it's a no go. That's not to say it's bad, quite the opposite. .. but I award originality and this is as unique as they come. I like two things on the label: 1) they describe their product as "surprisingly" refreshing. 2) there's a little diagram showing you how to pour it properly. Yes.
