3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
300ml glass, TV Tower Restaurant, Prague. Doesn’t look all that good, as it is a dark, murky brown in colour, although it does have a firm and tightly-packed head. It isn’t strongly carbonated. There is a slight hint of bitterness, but it is dominated by a smooth malt flavour and texture. Quite a pleasant beer.

Had it with a garlic pizza and was positively surprised. Some harsh tones of bitter caramel, together with smooth smooky chocolate. Some herbs, like coriander and bog myrtle. Very little head.
Drinkable.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Brewed in the Czech Republic... Pours black with an ultra thin off white head. Aroma of caramel, bread, and malts. Taste is of very mild chocolate, with some hoppy notes. The mouthfeel is very thin and watery, but still pleasant enough to drink.
2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Blah. A subpar schwarzbier. Aroma was near nil. Could pick up some light bread and chocolate notes. Pour was a a deep near black with a thin tan ring for a head. Taste was very thin and watery but nice a drinkable. The low ABV makes it seem like you could drink it all day. Very watery and thin with a light roasted malt flavor and just minor notes of chocolate and bitter malt.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Can, 4,4% Swedish version. Roasted malt, light salty aroma. Some light notes of chocolate in the flavour together with some bread. Quite thin mouthfeel but better than other beers of this type. Not a favourite but definitely drinkable.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Sweet malts on the nose, bready. Pours very dark brown no head. Dark malts, hints of chocolate, bitter chocolate, grassy hops, very fresh tasting, good roasty flavors but light and easy to drink.
