 scrapes in  decent  good  excellent  sublime
Central de Cervejas Sagres 
This pale, lager-type beer is a little bland on the nose, with some mild malty notes. On the palate it is quite smooth and rich-textured, with a decent amount of dry, almost bitter-edged hoppy fruit and decent length, but it is
bit too "clean" and under-flavoured for me. 33cl. 5.1%ABV. �22.50 X 24 Surf4beer

Central de Cervejas, Sagres Preta
This is a dark beer, which pours almost pitch black with a thick, but quickly dissipating coffee-coloured head. The nose is very inviting, with notes of mocha coffee and roasted grain and a warming, chocolaty core.
On the palate it is quite light, with a less creamy body than I'd have guessed. The flavours are dark and smoky, with more coffee flavours and a modest bitterness. I was slightly disappointed in this, which whilst a
nice, quaffable beer, lacks a bit of real character. Purchased in Lisbon. 33cl. 4.3%ABV. 1€
