Draught at Pivovarsky Klub, Prague. Very dark brown with a big tan head. Sweet and roasty aroma with coffee, cocoa, and some yeastiness that reminds me of a rochefort. The flavor has a lot of roast, is sweet but clean and not cloying. There is a yeasty, raisin, vanilla and toffee component that reminds me a lot of a belgian strong. Full, creamy palate with small bubbles. was very impressed overall with the complexities and the great Czech drinkability.

Nov 27, 2008 Bottle @ U Medvidku Budweiser Bar. Black beer with a beige head. Aroma of coffee, roasted malts and sugar. Flavour is sweet, some coffee, some roasted malts. Medium bodied, but not very interesting flavourwise. Highly drinkable though.

Oct 24, 2008 (Bottle, Pivovarsky Klub, Prague, 20 July 2008) Dark brown colour with ruby hints. Frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with dark rye bread, cola and hints of spices. Malty taste with notes of dark fruit, prunes, dried figs, cold sweet coffee and dark rye bread. Fairly sweet, medium to full body. Rather complex and really tasty. Nice one.

Sep 19, 2008 Deep brown color with creamy beige head. Nice lace. Aroma is kind of gluey, roasty malty with a bit of chocolate and licorice. Flavor is sweety licoricey and syrupy, roasty malty, a bit metallic, coffeey. Hides alcohol very well. Palate is medium to full-bodied, oily and low carbonated.
