Bottle
Red amber, off-white creamy head. Fruity sugary nose. fruity base - minerally strawberries, nuts, bitter finish - minerally aftertaste. Good body, sparkly mouthfeel.

Pours a ruby color with a well retained small head.

The aroma is very sweet & malty with some molasses and a bit of dead leaf.

The flavor is sweet and lightly roasty with notes of vanilla and cola. The beer has a very low level of bitterness all around.

4.5% abv. US export bottle. Ruby brown color/ tan head. Candi sugar sweet, dark bread, chocolate aromas. light bodied. Sugar sweet hawaiian bread, molasses, yeasty flavors. Classic old world dark lager.

500ml Green Bottle, bottle has the B.B. Burgerbrau ‘Original Czech Lager – Dark”, & ‘1795’ on a dark red shiny label, no date found on label, 4.5% alc. on label not 4.7% as listed here on RB, has a dark brown and dark gold pour with a light tan head that falls to a ring and sparse cover, there is mild effervescence in the glass, aromas of bread, dark bread, grassy hops(?) and dark malt sweetness, toasted bread and dark bread with faint chocolate and caramel flavors, not much hop bitterness on the palate or at the finish, some malt flavor trails after the finish, medium mouth feel, very easy to drink or gulp down, I sense this beer would have been better if drank fresh and I did not find a Best By Date, so, I do not know how old this beer is, there was no skunkiness in this sample but I would like to find this fresh to compare.

50 cl bottle at Skallerup Klit. Deep red brown color, big off-white head. Aroma is roasted malt and sweetness. Flavor is the same with some fine bitterness and sweetness. Nice, but a bit watery.

A sweet dark lager. I can’t recollect that aroma, but I thought the flavor was quite uninspiring without being bad. If you like a sweetish beer - go for it.

drinkable, but nothing special. a bit below the average dunkel but if you like the style, you’ll probably also like this one.

[Sampled in 2005.] A nice and easydrinkable brew, which runs fast down without problems. A kind of a lawnbier. Ok sometimes
