500ml bottle from Sainsburys. Deep brown with a long-lasting tan head. Aromas of roasted grain with a touch of toffee. Flavour was less pronounced but there was coffee and dried fruit with a dry finish. Very smooth to drink, this was enjoyable.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Krusovice Cerne
1/2 liter bottle
Moderate pour in a weizen glass.
Brewed 11/06, absorbed 06/07
Poured a clear ruddy brown with a large frothy mostly lasting beige head with good lacing.
Smelt of moderate toasted light bread and caramel, with a light metallic/mineral smell.
Flavor was upfront light moderately bitter and toasted rye bread followed by a moderate bittersweet caramel and sugary green hops on a moderate finish.
Palate was upfront light bodied, slightly oily, lively carbonated and lightly astringent and metallic.
Overall, this is somewhat disappointing for a Schwarzbier, but enjoyable nonetheless. I really was expecting a little bit more though. Tastes like metal too.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tap at the Bohemian Hall Beer Garden: Deep brown color with some amber highlights in the light and a creamy tan head. A mild, roasty malt nose with a hint of iron. Nice creamy mouth feel. Somewhat mild yet has a decent roasted malt character that gives off a hint of raisin-like sweetness with a balancing hint of coffeeish roast. Finish is mildly bitter with a metallic hint. Bland, but balanced and sessionable.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: SEP 10, 2007 Bottle at the "Forever Bar" Praha 6. Pleasant nose of smoke and light fruit. Served in stem glass. Head is large and healthy, settles slowly. This beer does not overpower but complement the meal. Appearance is a shot in the dark due to the poor lighting at the "Forever bar" (the food was cheap) . Bottle from Slob with matching glassware appears from nowhere on doorstep. A nice charcoal-like smokiness is hidden below the malt. Up 0.1 from first impression. Go slob go.
