cgarvieuk (4159), Edinburgh, Scotland Feb 23, 2009 Bottle at home ... deep brown ... bubbly tan head ... sweet sacriny malty nose ... coffee nutty quite sweet malts ... some lager hops ...not for me ChainGangGuy (2523), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Feb 14, 2009 Appearance: Pours a clear, dark brown body with a smallish, ivory-colored head.
Smell: A welcome chocolaty nose with notes of simple syrup layered over golden raisins with a background hint of roast malt.
Taste: Sweet dark maltiness imparts tastes of dark caramel and cocoa powder. Again, there’s just a very minor roast character. Raisin fruitiness. Light touch of licorice. Mild herbal, spicy hops and bitterness. Additional chocolate flavor on the drying finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: As it’s flavorful yet remains light and relatively low in alcohol, for once, the idea of a Weekend at Bernie’s doesn’t sound so bad. Quite a nice dark lager, actually. I’ll admit to being a bit hesitant towards these odd imports from remote places in Eastern Europe, but I’ll cheerfully try any other Bernard products in the future. coldbrewky (716), Saugerties, New York, USA Feb 6, 2009 Swingtop in trade with Th...Br...Som... woo hoo! Thanks Matt! A soft dunkel that has a decent push behind it. Creamy chocolat and earth emerge as swingtop is popped. Pours a dark dark brown with an oily active expanding head. MMM-MMM! Roasted malt tone is surrounded by light malts and chocolate. Faint tones of plums wxist in corners. An even determined fish. This is one of the gems I missed on my trip this summer. Very nice. nate2g (1034), Brisbane, Australia Jan 16, 2009 Dark brown with reddish hues and a lasting beige head. Roasted malt, caramel and dark fruit. Smooth and lingering bitter finish. judasbeer (230), Budapest, Hungary Jan 15, 2009 Updated: Sep 5, 2009Dark brown (nearly black) color. Very weak , small, fading frothy head - Maybe i warmed up too quickly to the right temperature... Mild, sweet roasted coffee, black chocolate in the aroma. Medium bodied with lively, fizzy carbonation. Roasted, dry malty taste. Extra dry, long roasted aftertaste. serkoptato (32), Budapest, Hungary Dec 27, 2008 A 13% extrakt- és 5,1% alkoholtartalmú barnasör – némi túlzással – a cseh sörfőzés kvintesszenciája: igazi fekete szín, ami a szokatlanul tartós habon is meglátszik, telt malátaíz, nagyon karakteres, harapós, hosszan lecsengő kesernyésség. Igazi, férfiaknak való ital. rosenbergh (843), Helsinki, Finland Dec 23, 2008 500 ml bottle. Finland.
Dark brown colour. Nothing spectacular. Very basic Czech Dunkel. I did not catch the special flavour that makes it unique. swooper (420), Kladno, Czech Republic Dec 17, 2008 coffee, caramel, brown, black, brown foam, medium bitterness, light sweetness, medium body, long finish, soft carbonation,
