Bottle, bought @ Gallerie Piva, Prague.
Pours deep brown with a small, creamy, off-white film head. Aroma is sweet, lots of caramel with some light roasted notes. Medium carbonation, fine, dry, mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet - a bit too much, even. Caramel at first, some sugary notes and then a good, dry, chocolate, hoppy finish. It is very sad that there is that initial overly sweet sugary note - otherwise, it would have been great.

Near black with a lasting off-white head. Aroma of toffee and caramel with roasted notes. Dry and roasted flavour with a brown sugar touch.

Milk chocolate aroma ("koetjesrepen") with malt. Slightly roasted flavor. Hint of banana. Sweetish, creamy with a chocolate aftertaste. Fine dunkel, clean and tasty.

Malzig herber Antrunk, etwas billig aber ertragbar. Kaum hopfig, getreidig-herb und leicht bitter. Malzig-würziger Abgang. Nett! Test vom 24.9.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 7,8,9,8,6,9 - 8,35

Dark reddish brown with a thin off white head. Sweet doughy malt aroma, with notes of caramel. Sweet malt in mouth, with light caramel, and light burned coffee notes. A bit oxidized. Medium bodied, with some light metallic alcohol in finish. Nuttyness develops as beer warms up. BB 9-9-05. Trade from Piscator in Spring 2005.

Bottle: Pours clear reddish brown; big off-white head, lacing&lasting; shy sweetish malty nose, a bit vinous; mild milk-chocolatey and nutty taste; shorter fruity, malty and only slightly bitter (cacao) finish; very soft, tasty and well-rounded; a good and pleasant Dunkel !

Dark maroon with medium white head. Aroma of candy cane and chocolate. Flavor of malt and toffee, like roasty finish with a few hops. Decent stuff.

(bottle from Germany, 4.7% ABV, as Lobkow. Baron Urböhmisches Schwarzbier) Clear, dark brown colour with a reddish shine and a medium-sized, light-beige foamy head. Sweet and a bit sugary dark malty aroma with cacao and caramel. Bitter and slightly sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Dark malty, slightly roasted taste with caramel and pretty strong notes of liquorice, lingering into the moderately bitter finish, accompanied with notes of chocolate and a whiff of herbal hops. Nice session beer.

Dark brown colour with a fairly thick tan head. Rich sweet caramel and nutty aroma, oaky, with a bit of fruitiness in it. Flavour is also nutty and malty. Medium-bodied but finished with lingering floral and coffee notes. A bit of soapiness comes out but still a good beer.
