3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: FEB 3, 2008 (Bottled) Clear, dark ruby with a largeish, tanned, pretty quickly descending, lightly lacy head. Aroma of roasty-burned malt, and varying amounts of sulphur. Roasted-malty, lightly licoricey flavor with sulphur and a dry-ashy finish. Medium-bodied, quite foamy-carbonated palate. Not nearly as good as the draught version I’ve had previously. Full-bodied for a Czech lager, and quite balanced - but there’s no complexity, and the sulphur (amount varies by bottle) is quite distracting.
(Draught@Hostina, Helsinki, was 7-4-7-4-15=3.7) Very dark brown color with a thick, creamy, tanned head. Slightly roasty, malty aroma with licorice hints. Malty, roasty-licoricey, salty flavor with some ashiness. Medium to full-bodied, foamy-carbonated but smooth palate. A very nice and enjoyable, full and balanced dunkel.

On draft at the 2012 NWAF, Manchester. Pours a black colour with a fair light tan head. Aroma of caramel, roasty malt, chocolate, grass and caramel. Fairly typical Pilsener flavours of grassy hops, caramel and alcohol with some roasty malt and burnt toast also. Moderate carbonation and quite dry to finish. A foamy mouth-feel and a little smoky also. Tasty.

Draft, 0.5l. Pours dark brown with average sized creamy brownish head. Roasted malt aroma prevails, while some coffee is noted, too. Sweet caramel malt flavour with light hoppy bitterness at finish. Medium to full bodied with oily texture and flat carbonation in palate. Proud member of the Bernard family :)

draft. sour and acidic roast heavy with milder plum and spice notes. medium body, sweet, simple and cola-like. disappointingly bad from a brewery who makes a stellar 12° svetly.
