My Bottom Line:
A chewy honeyed cereal impetus benefits from spicy hops and their firm bitterness in this rich yet drinkable Strong Lager.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam protects the clear golden.
-A citrusy aura seems to surround the hop spiciness.
-Alcoholic warmth is easily perceptible, which is not necessarily what I would like from a brew at this gravity.
-This is fruitier than the Jubiler, which is otherwise closely related.
-The healthy cereals are apparently coalescing into biscuits.
Bottle; merci Marc et Éric!

Oct 4, 2008 A very dark golden colored beer, with a small thick foamy head. The aroma of hops, citrus and malts. Some notes of alcohol. The taste is malty hoppy, some bitter, with fruits like peaches. It has a fruity sweet aftertaste.

Oct 1, 2008 Bottle @ U Medvidku, prague. Pours deep golden honey color. Sweet honey-ish & slightly boozy aroma. Saaz bitterness. Pretty intense lager taste with some caramel sweetness. Apparently I liked this better than others

Vinegary aroma that is spicy and with some subdued hops. Clear gold with a small white cover. Nice melanoidiny bock with a prominent sweetness that is well-balanced by bitterness, but still kind of boring like other beers in this style. Light to medium body with moderate carbonation and quite a bit of residual bitterness.
