3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
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.

pours dark brown with off white head. aroma is rich with caramel, chocolate, and roasted malts. found the taste a bit disappointing, some chocolate sweetness, coffee bitterness, but all a bit one dimensional. its ok, but prefer its blonde cousin.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: JAN 11, 2012 Deep brown topped by a light creamy head. The nose is rich and toasty with a caramel, vanilla and chocolate notes including roasted malt aroma. It gives a bitter taste with spicy and herbal flavour. Body is medium, carbon high. Coffee and chocolate with dark fruits on palate. Bitter aftertaste. B@H
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JAN 2, 2012 Roasty yet lagery. Warming up there is a great dark crystal malt aroma and taste. Bar a little metallic twang to begin with, this turns into a fine pint.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Meny, Ringnes park. Pours dark brown with a small off-white head.
Aroma of roasted malt, caramel and chocolate. Pretty sweet taste with a dry and slightly bitter finish.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle at home. Dark brown pour, thin off-white head. Aroma is roasty, some faint red fruits, bread, Czech hops and rye. Flavor is slightly bitter, somewhat sweet and nice full bodied roasted malts. Decent brew.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Nice black beer which is not overdone. Light bodied and a good summer quaffer. Low head and low carbonation.
3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
50cl brown bottle labeled in German from Vienna grocery store. Pours a clear dark mahogany with fading white head. Big "chocolate" aroma. Medium body, noticeable carbonation. Slightly dry dark malts flavor balance. No molasass or too much caramel dominant flavor common to most Czech dark beers. Light hop bitterness up front combines with carbonation to mitigate overly sweet flavor balance. Otherwise clean lager. OKAY.
