Aug 15, 2005 Herold Bohemian Black Lager (bought in New Jersey, USA) has a classic Czech Saaz hop taste with a choclate, licorice aroma and dark brown body with a short head. Went very well with mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Aug 5, 2005 I brought a few of these back with me only to find I can get them here. Such is life. :)
Pours black with a decent tannish head. Smells of nuts, pepper and spices. Tastes of coffee beans and chocolate. An excellent example of this style.

Aug 2, 2005 Pours a very deep brown- almost black with a nice thick head and some good lacing. Aroma is nutty, bready, dark malts, and some chocolate. Lots of toasty malts with some nuts and chocolate flavor and a bit of roasted malts in the finish. Exceptionally smooth- probably from the long lagering process. I dont know how I missed this one for so long. Probably one of the best schwarzbiers ever and Im sure this bottle isnt even that fresh.

Jul 23, 2005 Dark brown, almost black. Thin beige head. Bready, faint toast aroma. Smooth cola-ish aroma. hint of cofee, maybe, and some decent roasted malt flavors. Nicely blended and very drinkable.

Jul 13, 2005 Herold is easily one of my favorite breweries in the world. Their dark beer did not disappoint, but neither I think did it live up to my perhaps unrealistic expections. Nevertheless, I certainly enjoyed the beer. The roasted malt character was strong, but not overly so. Typically, too much roastiness will dry out a beer and leave me unhappy. They did not overdo it here. There remains a very nice malty wetness which stands up against the roastiness, enough even to allow you to find a tiny bit of hop flavor.

Jul 8, 2005 Cask at County Hotel, Ashford, Kent
Not seen anything like this before in Ashford, but I really enjoyed this. Had a sweetish malt character but there was a depth of flavour that made it interesting. Some hops but malt dominates throughout

Jul 3, 2005 Clear dark caramel-brown body with a red tone and a uniform tan head. Interesting aroma of raisins, licorice, cola, and chocolate. Significant roast in the flavor with continued chocolate and cola elements. Roasty bitterness extends into the finish and aftertaste. Smooth, medium body. Good beer.
