duff (5402), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England Apr 4, 2008 Draught@Hospudka U Chalupce (hope i spelled that right). On the sweet side wih notes of caramel and light cocoa chocolate, some raisiny fruit. The mouthfeel is quite soft and round, quite drinkable. Touch too sweet for me maybe.

Glouglouburp (1829), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Apr 7, 2008 Back from a Czech Republic pub-crawl this is part of my express ratings for the “typical” Světlý 11°- (Czech light Pils), Světlý 12°+ (Czech Pils), Polotmavý (Czech Amber Lagers) and Tmavý (Czech Black Lagers). Non-typical beers will receive personalized descriptions after the express ratings. ----------------------------------------------------------------
How: Tap at Pivovar Berounsky Medved, Beroun, Czech Repulic
The look: Dark ruby body with a large beige head
To me a typical Czech Tmavé (Czech Black Lager) is: Dark malts and barely any roastiness sensation. Some dark fruits flavours (raisins with a little figs, dates and prunes) wrapped in smooth dark caramel (borderline toffee) and a subtle chocolate note. A bit bready. Moderately sweet without much hops presence and only a mild bitterness (voluntary unbalanced it seems). Very smooth body, like a watery cream.
This one: As above but more fruity (borderline fruit juice) even reaching kiwis and tropical fruits flavours. Very bland, borderline bad.

(Rating #1547) Allen (464), Wölflinswil, Switzerland Mar 27, 2008 Bottled 50cl. It pours a dark ruby beer with a mocha head. The nose is of raisins, roasted malt, apples and coconut accompanied by a slight hint of pineapple and freshly cut grass. Low bitterness. Sweet buttery taste. Some plums, raisins and chocolate showing up. Smooth and subtle. Lightly grassy with a buttery finish with a hint of candy accompanied by a smoky component. A sweet beer with a low bitterness. Light bodied. Decent, nothing special.
