wunderbier (1264), Tampere, Finland May 8, 2008 Toasted brown with a loose tan fluff. Semi-sharp chocolate and coffee melds with a distinct nuttiness, toasted bread and light smokiness. Roasted and nutty from the start; mild caramel sweetness before a dry espresso finish. Stealthy, light; velvety with crisp carbonation.
Pleasantly dry, roasty and sessionable.
50 cl bottle, best before 5.2.2009.

PJClarke (592), London, Greater London, England Oct 25, 2009 A nice, milky, smoked aroma. Woody, sweet but with an ashy bitterness. Long dry wood finish. Something coke-like about it. Pretty ace though not perfectly drinkable dj (418), Gloucestershire, England Oct 24, 2009 Bottle, 500ml. A deep brown colour with a small head. Rich nutty aroma with roasted malt and chocolate. A very malty flavour with cocoa, caramel, nuttiness and a sweet, almost syrupy mouthfeel. A little citrus in the finish. Moderate carbonation. Definitely one I’ll buy again.

Not bad. mcberko (118), British Columbia, Canada Oct 14, 2009 On tap in Prague, pours a dark brown. Smooth mouthful. Mild flavour of nuts, caramel and roasted malt. Much better than ordinary Budvar. Refreshing. Soconnor67 (2), Prague, Czech Republic does not count Oct 12, 2009 Probably the best dark Czech beer widely available. A dry and remarkably smooth beer that is well worth seeking out on draught when in the Czech Republic
