Harmony between taste and beauty - Dark beer is the traditional product of the Royal Brewery of Krušovice and for more than 100 years the production of this beer has not stopped. The beer has a full, sweet caramel taste and a light hop flavour. The high quality of the raw ingredients assures the excellent taste of the beer. There are several types of malt, natural spring water from the Křivoklát Wood and hops from the Žatec area.

Vaiz (1847) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - SEP 9, 2011
Bottle at home. Black pour, thin tan head. Aroma is creamy, roasted and with chocolate and caramel. Flavor is a bit watery, some chocolate and a hint of bitterness. Very drinkable.

womencantsail (3572) - Home of Rebecca Black, California, USA - AUG 28, 2011
A: The beer pours a dark brown color with some reddish notes and a finger of tan head. S: There’s a definite vegetal note with some corn and sulfur. A mild roast that does let you know it’s a schwarzbier. Lightly acidic with some hints of dark chocolate and coffee. T: Roast and coffee are the first things I pick up on the palate. A definite acidity to it as well as a mild sweetness. Some light cocoa notes. No real off-flavors, but not really any standout, good ones, either. M: Light to medium bodied with a medium carbonation. O: Better than the Imperial, but not a great schwarzbier either.

CarlJonas (57) - Linköping, SWEDEN - AUG 25, 2011
Can at home. Pours a very dark red with a beige head. Aroma of roasted malt with an unfortunate metallic side note. Gets better once you drink it. Kind of sweet, kind of bitter taste with lovely flavours of chocolate and dark roasted coffee. Thin body but this is a dark lager not a Porter so that’s quite all right. Unfortunately that metallic flavour returns towards the end. I’m guessing the can is to blame. But still, pleasant enough with plenty of flavour considering the low ABV (and low price) which makes this a beer I often return to.

(can) pours a clear dark ruby colour with a frothy off-white head. aroma of buttered pale malts, hazelnuts, liquorice and light toasted malts. flavour is the same, with light hints of milk chocolate and smoke and a light roasted-bitter finish. light to medium-bodied with average carbonation.

Beershine (4561) - The Sunshine State, Florida, USA - AUG 18, 2011
@ Beer Mug in Ulan-Ude. Dry and malty with some charcoal in the aroma. Is black with thick head. Thin-ish, almost too dry. Drinkable enough but has hardly any flavor. Just dry coal.

Camons (1501) - Hasselager, DENMARK - AUG 4, 2011

Kristall-König (1552) - Oldenburg, GERMANY - AUG 2, 2011
Dunkelfarbiges Bier mit malzig-holzigem Geruch. Der Geschmack ist lakritzartig, leicht röstig, insgesamt etwas dünn. Krusovice Cerne ist nichts Besonderes. Diesem Bier fehlt der echte Biss. Test vom 14.11.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche

Czech, dark, and good as such. However, there are better ones. (This beer rating was imported from FB and unfortunately lacks any further comments.)
