May 4, 2008 Has a clear cola color with a small light brown head. Roasted caramel aroma with a light nuttiness. Medium thick, sticky mouthfeel. Rich caramel flavors, roasted graininess and a light bitterness. Sweet, slightly cloying, finish. Not great but not bad either.

Apr 16, 2008 Pours a see thru brown with a little tan head. Aroma of caramel, malt, and a touch of hops. Flavor of aramel, roasted barley, hops, water and not much else. Pretty easy drinking but a mediocre beer at best.

Apr 7, 2008 Updated: Apr 9, 2008Bottle, as BrouCzech Dark. Pours dark brown with ruby highlights, and a frothy tan head. Aroma is sweet caramel malt, some light fruit, and a hint of deadish hops. Flavor is sweet caramel, a little roast, and a small bit of nondescript hops. Not too exciting, but decent.

Mar 15, 2008 12oz bottle. Dark brown with a little red and a beige head. Light grassy aroma with a little cardboard and sweetness. The malt flavors show some caramel and brown sugar, a little bit of roast, but not at all bitter. Light hops just tame the bitterness, but don’t stick out. Sweet, but not annoying. Light body with smooth carbonation. For some reason, Czech dunkels always go down well with me. Not the greatest, but still pleasant and drinkable.

Mar 14, 2008 500ml bottle (alko)
Very dark red, thin head. Spicy hoppy aroma, crisp and peppery, and a touch of ginger. Quite lively in the mouth. Very rich roasted malt, and tangy hops make their presence felt even before swallowing. Some sweetness, but it’s not sickly. The noble hops leave a very long finish. Very typical nova paka taste, but they do do very tasty dark lagers.

Mar 4, 2008 Pour is a dark brown with a large tan head. Aroma is hard to find with some roasted malts if you use your imagination. Flavor is not much better. Some dry malts and a ever so slight touch of smoke. A little earthyness on the swallow but nothing to make this a better beer. Quite boring.

Feb 28, 2008 Pours very deep red, big billowy head on top. Aroma is muted and far off, but nice bready notes can be found, somewhat "spritzy". Flavor is malty, some quality exists in he beginning, but is somewhat clouded by a faint metallic note. Lots of grassy notes in the flavor, and there’s a bitter moment about 80% of the way through. Pretty good for what Joe charged for it.
