Style: Schwarzbier
Louny, Czech Republic

Pours quite black with a medium tan head. Malty roasted aroma. Very drinkable. Malty dry flavour.

Bottle. Light smell of roasted malt and light sweet, a little bit like cola. Medium brown creamy-foamy head, rather fast disappearing. The body is nearly black. First taste is light bitter and malty, the finish is normal and a little bit more bitter. The beer is dry and a little bit watery, there is not much carbonation and rather light.

50 cl bottle, bought in Germany by my mother. Deep brown reddish color, nice light brown head. Aroma is caramel malt and sweet fruit. Flavor is sweet malty, caramel, roasted malt and very moderate bitterness.

chocolate, caramel, black, brown, white foam, heavy cloying sweetness, lightly bitter, medium body, bitter,

It’s black/brown with a red hue and the head is small and creamy. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, rye bread and syrup. The flavour has sweetness and the same notes as the aroma and it ends on a dry, grapefruit note. IMO the sweetness is too strong and the grapefruit makes it out of balance, it’s like the two halves does not meet...
