Flavor is not bad, not good either. This is a middle of the road dark lager. fishingnet (1047), Brandon, Florida, USA

Pours a very dark brown with a one finger tan head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, caramel, and chocolate. Taste is the same as aroma but less prominent. Medium mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. Very good. fidel (1021), Livermore, California, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 30, 2003 Easy drinking Czech dark with a nose I don't particularly care for. Quaffable, but certainly no standout in the wonderful world of dark lagers. DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 6, 2009 Bottle. Malt lovers should go crazy over this one. Syrupy malt aroma, somewhat medicinal. Dark reddish brown body, large light tan head. Flavor is sweet and a little roasty, with malt and more malt. Nicely carbonated, which prevents it from being overly syrupy. loweredsixth (943), Fresno, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 30, 2003 Pretty dark brown color (ruby when held up to a light) with a medium sized beige head. The aroma and flavor were bursting with burnt tones, coffee, chocolate, and caramel. The aftertaste was very sweet with a root beer character. Bubbly, crisp feel...semi-dry finish. Very enjoyable. hennes (932), Fountain, Michigan, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 1, 2010 Bottle. Poured red black with foamy beige head. Full aroma of caramel, coffee and toast. Light body, light flavour, didn’t match aroma, malt, a bit of unsweetened coffee. Light finish. This is low enough in alcohol to make a session beer.
