500ml bottle from Prague Tesco. Dark strong lager. Black bread malty - licorice, fennel seed, aniseed, alcohol. Pleasant enough. Lingering malty sweetness in the finish. Christmas pudding with sugar.OK, but too sweet and one dimensional.

Aug 21, 2008 Sweet dark frut alcoholic aroma, cane sugary roasty cloyingly sweet taste. Makes my teeth shudder and the alcohol is there showing its ugly face. I still nigh enjoyed this, probably because it was so cold outiside and Brideshead revisited started to go downhill because of Jeremy Irons’ facial hair so i needed a distraction.

Aug 8, 2008 bottle. Clear dark brown/black colour, oily consistence, small beige head. Sweet and malty aroma. Full-bodied, very sweet and malty with great fruity flavours of wild berries, plum and raisins/dried fruit. Warming alcohol especially in the finish. Heavy and sweet but in a very nice way.

Jul 2, 2008 Bottle from Prague.
Strong, sweet - very sweet.
Some warming alcohol, some spices. Not hops to balance this, it gets too heavy and cloying.
