esox (862) - Oulu, FINLAND - MAY 15, 2008
500 ml bottle. Pours dark brown with average light head. Head is not long-lasting, a bit lacklustre but forms some lacing. Sweet caramel and roasted malts in aroma. Some raisins and burned sugar. A bit metallic hops. Flavor is sweet and slightly salty. Nice finish with dried sweet fruits, milk sugar and light bitterness. Medium body and too much carbonation. Quite well balanced and tasty but not very itnteresting dunkel.

omhper (17437) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUL 11, 2007
Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Clear dark brown, average head. Sweet and caramelly. Light notes of cellar, otherwise highly reminiscent of the sweeter dark Czech beers, with it’s light roastiness and severe sweetness. Soft and without bitterness. Reasonably well executed.
