| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 26, 2009 Bottle. Poured a clear deep wooden brown with a medium light brown head. Aroma was one note with caramel malts. The flavor was eerily similar to the aroma. Quite boring. Habanero (619), Tranbjerg, Denmark
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Nov 21, 2009 Bottle. Pours deep mahogany with a medium size tan head. Malty nose with notes of hops. Watery palate. Medium bodied. Sweet flavour with lightly roasted malt, bread and hops. Slightly bitter finish with a metallic note. rlaw (47), USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 25, 2009 Bottle. Pours very dark with a medium tan head. Aroma is malt and coffee. Flavor is heavy on the malt and coffee with a hint of licorice. Not sweet at all, and no bitterness from either the roast malt or hops. But I guess that’s true to the variety. The flavor and mouthfeel are a bit thin, but then it makes for a very nice, drinkable dark. Could probably drink this all night. Nisse666 (412), Göteborg, Sweden

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Oct 22, 2009 1/2 liter bottle at redlight redlight. Pours dark brown but still translucent. A little thin. Smells like raw cacao with hints of black liquorice. Woody, just a tad roasty, nothing but dark malts. The flavor definitely leaves something to be desired. Not much going on. Really much too thin. saxo (3582), Hřjbjerg, Aarhus, Denmark

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 15, 2009 On tap at a local pub. Krusovice Dark is a popular "schwarzbier" in Germany. Pitch black, impenetrable colour, medium soapy off-white head with plenty of lacing. Medium body, low carbonation from the cask, creamy mouthfeel. Aroma of licorice and malt, little else. Taste of bitter chocolate and coffee and a tad of "coal", with a dry, medium bitter finish and a lingering, mildly bitter after taste. Fairly straightforward "schwarzbier", therefore sessionable and quite smooth if not terribly characterful. I can think of a number of more complex, more interesting stouts from England and Ireland! mcberko (145), British Columbia, Canada
