Harmony between taste and beauty - Dark beer is the traditional product of the Royal Brewery of Krušovice and for more than 100 years the production of this beer has not stopped. The beer has a full, sweet caramel taste and a light hop flavour. The high quality of the raw ingredients assures the excellent taste of the beer. There are several types of malt, natural spring water from the Křivoklát Wood and hops from the Žatec area.

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.

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.

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.

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!

On tap at a bar in Prague - pours very dark brown/black, with a thick head. Malty, coffee flavour. Very nice.
