\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>Tasting Notes<\/h2>\n<p>Negra Modelo is a beer that combines tradition and brewing mastery. Crafted with roasted malts and a meticulous fermentation process, this dark beer offers a unique flavor profile that has made it a favorite in Mexico and around the world. <\/p>\n<h3>1. Appearance<\/h3>\n<p>Negra Modelo presents a dark amber color with coppery highlights, offering a crystal-clear and bright appearance. Its foam is dense and creamy, with a light beige hue, moderate retention, and fine carbonation that rises slowly. <\/p>\n<h3>2. Aroma<\/h3>\n<p>On the nose, it features a combination of roasted malts with notes of caramel, toasted bread, and a slight nutty touch. In the background, subtle floral and herbal nuances from the hops balance the aromatic profile. <\/p>\n<h3>3. Flavor<\/h3>\n<p>The first sip is smooth and malty, with an initial sweetness reminiscent of caramel and toasted bread. As it progresses, notes of nuts and a hint of dark chocolate emerge. The bitterness is low and well-integrated, allowing the roasted malts to take center stage. The finish is clean and slightly dry, with an aftertaste that once again evokes roasted malts and a touch of caramel.   <\/p><div id=\"thebe-2158467275\" class=\"thebe-libros-amazon thebe-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><div style=\"background-color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #ccc; border-radius: 12px; padding: 16px; max-width: 320px; margin: 20px auto; text-align: center; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3LddZmQ\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-43340 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebeertimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Catar-cerveza-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Gu\u00eda Pr\u00e1ctica Catar Cerveza Amazon\" width=\"200\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thebeertimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Catar-cerveza-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thebeertimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Catar-cerveza-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thebeertimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Catar-cerveza-370x370.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.thebeertimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Catar-cerveza.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #0000ff; font-weight: bold; margin: 8px 0; line-height: 1.2;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3LddZmQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\">Gu\u00eda pr\u00e1ctica para catar cerveza: C\u00f3mo apreciar correctamente todas las cervezas del mundo<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium fasc-ico-before dashicons-cart\" style=\"background-color: #ff9900; color: #000000;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3LddZmQ\">Comprar en Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>4.
