Brewed by Pivovar Klášter
Style: Dunkel
Hradiště nad Jizerou, Czech Republic

Bottle: Chestnut-amber coloured, loose, slowly collapsing beige head; shy roasted-malty notes in the caramelly and slightly metallic nose; moderate sweetish flavour, quite light bodied; short sweetish-caramelly finish with the faintest tinge of hops in the aftertaste. O.K., a bit boring.......

(6/26/08) Draught at Vinarna Hrozen in Plzen. Dark brown with reddish hues and a beige head. Aroma of toasted malt. Sweet sugary flavor, with some toastiness, caramel and a slightly drier finish. Light to medium body. A bit watery.

(Draught at Klasterni Pivnice, Prague, 22 July 2008) Dark ruby colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with dark rye bread. Malty taste with notes of dark rye bread, wort and modest bitterness. Fairly sweet. Decent dunkel, hardly exciting.

Bottled. A brown beer with a tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and straw, and so is the flavor .

Bottled. Deep amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is sour and mouldy diacetyl along with some wood. Flavour is red berries, roasted malts, slight coffee and big diacetyl in the finish.

Clear dark red color, tan head. Roasted and sweet boring scent. Sweet sugary taste. Thin mouthfeel, low bitterness.

Bottled. Very dark brown, beige head. Black currant aroma. Sweetish with medium body with some roastiness and notes of raisin and metal as well as butter and coffee. Low bitterness. Interesting flavourwise, but a bit too sweet for my liking.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden amber with a slowly diminishing light tan head. Dense malt aroma, dry and with an overripe fruit note. Flavour is mild cardboardish, yet with a nice dry caramel malt base, light fruity note and towards a breadish dry malt finish. A light bitterness appear and gains in strength towards the end, really underlying a the dryness.
