Well, it poured dark brown, almost black body with medium sized brown cascading head. Weak coffee aroma, dry. Quite good coffee malt profile in the flavor, but rather typical for any dry stout, watery, ironically, as every "dry stout" is. Shorter, coffee dry finish with maybe some notes of herbal hops here, but killed with overwhelming coffee. Not my style, but Murphy’s was better as I recall, no matter it beats typical Guinness.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 31, 2009 Found what are possibly some of the last bottles in existence in a liquor store in Prague’s center, not far from U Medvidku. Shared with heavy Black (extremely dark red really) body. Small beige thick head. Dry malty nose, grainy roasty maltiness, very light dried figs. Light yoghurty malty taste, relatively smooth. A bit understated but noticable and slightly persistant hoppy, herbal bitterness in the finish. Very drinkable and beats pretty much all Irish dry stouts. Completely atypical for a Czech beerStaropramen, you suck for retiring this. I do hope they return this now that they’re rid of InBev but fat chance of that happening. sebletitje (2000), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 29, 2009 bottle, should I say, many bottles at famous metal bar Hells Bells in Prague.
Pours dark brown, thick beige head.
Taste, toasted malts, mocha, light malts, chocolate palate almost like milk chocolate, caramel finish, toffee/buttery mouthfeel.
An easy fantastic drink, drinks like a charm. Diar (99), Sweden

The aroma is quite light, just a bit roasted. It has a nicely roasted taste with some sweetness and a not too bitter aftertaste. The palate is quite fitting, its very easily drinkable in large amounts. bitbucket (2036), Kirkland, Washington, USA

Perhaps a touch of salt. DArk brown pour with a thin head. The flavor is light and roasty with a soft sweetness. A dry finish, light bitterness. Whatever. swooper (483), Kladno, Czech Republic
