| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 27, 2008 On tap in Prague. Deep dark brown, beige head. Aroma of coffee, malts. Flavour is coffee, sweet dark malts, a little chocolate, some sourness, although I’m not sure that is supposed to be there. Medium bodied. I liked this one though, had some more going on than other dark Czechs I’ve had in Prague. ChainGangGuy (2593), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 20, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, dark brown body with no real head formation beyond some sporadic bubbles.
Smell: Dark, grainy malts with a slight note of fruit and some minor sweetish hints.
Taste: Dark malts provide modest tastes of chocolate and dark caramel with an overall light sweetness. A touch fruity. Hint of earthy molasses. Faint floral and spicy hops with a muted bitterness. Finishes dry with a light roastiness.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: An almost acceptable schwarzbier, though I am a bit wary regarding this "artificial sweetener" listed under ingredients. ATLBeerDog (280), Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Smells of light hops and super sweet malts. First sip is very sweet with caramel notes and very little hops. Not much happening here. Worth skipping this one! Archibaldo de la Cruz (412), Finland

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Oct 24, 2008 500 ml can abv is 4,4% maybe a swedish version? Thick creamy beige head. Colour is dark. very light aroma, I only detect some dark malts and maybe some notes of dark bread. Again bread in the flavour which is very thin for this kind of beer.
