Kĺstĺ (1144), Mol, Belgium Sep 23, 2005 Dark reddish brown coloured beer with a medium disappearing head. Light toffee aroma. The taste is sweet with a rather creamy palate. Very short neutral finish.
downender (1609), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England Oct 4, 2008 500ml on tap in a bar in Prague. Near black in colour with reddish tones and a foamy tan head. Caramel and toffee aroma. Flavour was very sweet, with a touch of fruit and milk chocolate and demerara sugar in the finish. Ok. Ober (387), Best, Netherlands Oct 4, 2008 On draught. An almost black colored beer, with a beige head. The aroma of caramel sweet, malty and a little hop. The taste of caramel sweet, a little chocolate but watery. As aftertaste the caramel sweetness stays for a while. Archibaldo de la Cruz (138), Finland Oct 2, 2008 Can. Reddish brown colour with a tan head. Sweet malty aroma. The flavour is sweet, roasted malt. Slightly bitter finish. Light to medium-bodied and easy to drink. Muggus69 (232), Sydney, Australia Oct 2, 2008 500ml bottle. Muted nose packed with malt; particular roasted nuttiness about it, some caramel sweetness, dark chocolate and a subtle woody vinous fruitiness lingering in the background.
Pours a nice deep bronze body highlighted with red. Offwhite medium head leaves solid lace.
Moderate carbonation, the palate isn’t too lengthy but it has a good malt stickiness that lends the body a bit of extra fullness than you’d expect from the abv.
Plenty of malt on the body, quite sweet overall; chocolate, cereal, caramel, brown sugar, cola, some dried fruit and woodiness. Finish is drying with a slight gritty bitterness.
Nice, simple, easy, flavoursome dark lager, bit on the sweet side. swoopjones (1173), Buffalo, New York, USA Oct 1, 2008 on tap. 1st beer in Prague. Reddish brown pour. Aroma is malty sweet with a light floral presence. Taste has a cola like sweetness. MaltyLight bodied. Average beer
