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.

taste of roasted malt and bread, smells fresh but not a very deep aftertaste, highly typical schwarzbier without much experimentation

NYHarvey (2153) - New York, New York, USA - JUN 10, 2007
Courtesy of Papsoe. Thanks, Henrik. Mild raisin and malt aroma and very little else that stands out. The body is a ruby hued black and holds a diminishing, pinky sized off white head. The mouthfeel is light, almost delicate with malt, raisin and mild chocolate notes. Finish is sweet and watery. Very subdued toast notes in the aftertaste. Easy drinking and nothing alarmingly negative about it for the style though it seemsto lean toward the chocolate flavor more than a Schwarz should. Still decent enough.

UPDATED: JUN 25, 2007 500ml bottle. Possibly one of the worst quality controls of any brewery - no two bottles are the same. This one was sour-smelling and with very little taste at all apart from sweet maltiness.

Draught at The Toronado, SF. Beer is clear, very dark brown with a small, white, mostly and quickly diminishing head.<P> The aroma is malty with moderate notes of roasted grain, milk chocolate, light notes of toasted bread crust and caramel; Trace miscellaneous notes of vinous, jammy black fruit.<P>The flavor is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, trace bitter with an average-length, lightly bitter, lightly sweet finish.<P>The body is medium, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively-soft.

A nice schwarzbier. I am surprised I havn’t already rated this. Very dark brown color, with roasted malt and some oak. Flavor is more roasted grain, light hops, some caramel and a little wood. Very drinkable with good palate. I thought it was more of a dunkel than a schwarzbier.

500ml bottle: this had been sitting in my fridge for quite a while. Pours a very dark brown, almost black. Small fizzy beige head. Full roasted malt aroma, light chocolate and coffee. More porterish than schwarzbier albeit not as full bodied as a porter. Roasty flavor with hints of chocolate. Slight smokiness. At only 3.8%, this is a good session beer. I think it’s quite tasty and easy drinking.
