On tap @ PK, Prague. Pours dark brown with a big off-white/yellowish creamy head. Dark caramel aroma. Taste is weak bitter, coffee,caramel with a butterish finish. Ends quick without any certain aftertaste

bottled and on tap at zly casy. somehow this brewery tends to struggle with darker beers, probably why they haven’t released a black i.p.a. to date. this is a dull shade of dark brown with an unenthusiatic head; aroma hints at molasses and garbage juice with some burnt hay; very thin with minimal carbonation; hints of dark grape and more of a caramel petering out than an arresting finish

1 000 ml plastic bottle. From Cuso. Děkuji vám!
Dark brown almost black colour with small off-white head. Dryish liquorice, mild coffee, roasted malt and touch of diacetyl in aroma. Flavour is roasted malt, mild dryish bitterness and some mild sweetness, caramel. Very drinkable and tasty one.

Brown body, light brown head. Aroma bread malt and roasted bread. Some sourness and ashy taste. Schwartzbier if you ask me.

1l plastic bottle from Zly Casy Prague. Dark brown color with small white head. Aroma of milk chocolate, toffee, some fruity hints. Taste, toffee, roasted malt, coffee. Light bitter finish. Good.

(Draught at Zly Casy, Prague, 29 July 2011) Very dark brown colour, almost black, with frothy beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of caramel, dark bread and chocolate. Malty, roasted taste with dark bread, caramel, cola and a mild bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Well balanced and tasty. Quite nice.

Bottle. Dark brown, quickly dissipating head. Aroma is caramel, dark bread, some roasted malt and earth, a bit of hops and dark chocolate, some minor sweetish fruitiness. Taste is disappointing - thin, watery and sourish. Light roastiness, earth, a bit of piney-juniper hops mand some soap. Makes the impression of an amateurish beer, the sourness seems to be a common trait of different samples, so I guess it is intentional. It’s not bad but it’s not good either, especially for this brewery.

bottle. great colour and nice head. pretty good taste,not so sweet,long palate.average.

Bottle@Home. Butterscotch and toffee aroma with yeast. Brown, lots and lots of bubbles, irregular yellow head, fair lace. Toffee, malts, herbal hops, light bitterness to pretty bitter in the finish, even a bit roasted bitter in the very finish. Medium body, seems more alcoholic than the 4.6% on the label. Bit amateurish and unbalanced.

(bottle) Hazy, ruby brown colour with a beige and dense mid-sized foamy head. Toasty malty aroma with distinctively fruity (infected?) notes. Slightly bitter flavour with a tinge of acidity, light bodied with a light carbonation. Slightly roasty malty taste with strong fruity accents; moderately dry sourish bitter finish. 18.VIII.10

Bottled. Almost clear mahogany colour, small head. Slim bodied but with a heart of solid caramel. Dry and somwhat dusty with sparkling mouthfeel and low bitterness.
