My first impression was that it doesn't have much flavor. I've only had this beer once before, I remember it being a hot afternoon after a long day at work. But, I do not remember it tasting this worthless. I am almost upset that I paid a buck for this beer! I think that the best part of this beer will be getting the deposit back on the bottle. I just took another swig, and it almost has a fruity after taste. This is probably a good beer to drink while doing yard work.
I bought 2 of each beer for this tasting and Im not upset that my boss stole the second Tusker. That should tell you a lot about how I feel about the beer... Although I would like that deposit back on the bottle.

My first impression was the fact that I had never had a "milk" beer before, so I was slightly scared. Then I poured it and thought, man that thing looks amazing. Then I took a sip, ver dark, very heavy, very flavorful, and a hint of milk on the finish. I'm not sure if I like that or not... This is definitely not a beer that you sit around and get drunk on. I notice that the front label read: "Rich, Dark, and Creamy" and I was thinking, "I like my women like I like my beer... rich, dark and creamy... hehehe (I'll get in trouble for that one). After that beer, I'm ready for bed.
