Jan 10, 2008 350 ml bottle. An improvement over the BrouCzech Lager. A bit more dark malt smell, though still a little oxydized and grainy. Pour nice, if dull brown color with a fizzy lager head. Taste is okay, but seems to show a little phenol and possibly some corn. Bitterness is there, but hops are difficult to pick out. Maybe be a little old. Available at Trader Joe’s, Downers Grove, IL

Dec 30, 2007 Not bad, but seemed to be one dimensional.
A nice brown body, thick off-white head. Aroma was sweet caramel malts and so was the flavor. There were some earthy notes to balance out the sweetness, but the caramel flavor seemed to linger.
