Malta India, top shelf, far right
Nasty stuff, that malta. Tastes like a sweet, thick, dark unfermented Guinness stout. Cloying! It's popular in the Caribbean, though.
I'm a Navy reservist whose girlfriend is from San Juan (Bayamon is a suburb now). I was there in March and had the privilege of drilling with the Navy at Fort Buchanan. This is the Army base that the man lost his store to.
