Královský Lev Negra (Lev Black Lion)

Bottle courtesy of douglas88. Pours brown with a tan head. Smells of caramel, nutty, some spice. Tastes of caramel, some sweet malt, tea, earthy. Finish is slightly vegetal. Nice.

Bottle compliments of Tres Bonne Cuisine in Boise, ID<!-- BR -->Pours a dark brownish black color, a light tan head. The nose is sweet and rich with some subtle skunk and corn notes. Lots of molasses and brown sugar, some roast and a touch of vanilla. The finish is balanced, it has that classic tangy "imported european dark lager" hint in the end. A bit traditional but a bit stale and a letdown.

Roasty, nutty malt aroma, with notes of coffee, cola, and maple syrup. Frothy diminishing head on a dark brown liquid. Just less than medium body, rather sweet yet slightly dry, with a hint of sourness. Major flavors are cola, roasted almonds, and maple syrup...it’s remarkably quite like a less sweet Coca-Cola without the buzzing carbonation. Very quaffable, but the sweet cola-like flavor is a bit odd.

Aroma of dark sweet malt with some coffee. Very dark brown with ruby hilites (under halogen). A beige head that left rapidly. Thinnish mouthfeel. Starts with roasted malt, a bit dry, not so sweet as the malt aroma might suggest. Light coffee notes. Arguably a bit of dark plummish fruit. The finish is dry, and there is a balance of overdone toast by hop.

Dark brown color, large head. Dark roasted malts, slightly sweet, lightly hopped, not a lot of bitterness. Medium bodied dark ale. Mouthfeel is full round and smooth. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is malty and slightly bitter.

This brew poured a smnall head of light brown fine to medium sized bubbles. It has a dark browm semi-transparent body with a mild malty aroma. The moiuthfell is smoothe from start to finish. Its flavor is a mild molasses malty caramel clean one that is very pleasing to the palate. This is a very nice beer to drink on a summer evening.

Retired? Poured dark black with sticky tan head and toffee aroma. Smoky wood flavors on a smooth beer ... quite nice.

When poured into my glass, this beer had a small tan head with fine sized bubbles. The body was clear with a brown-reddish hue. The lacing was only fair with this beer. The flavor reminded me of burnt coffee and the mouthfeel was smooth.
