29/10 A 0.5 l bottle Doggythedog brought from Prague, huge thanks! It poured dark reddish brown body with medium to smaller brownish head. Nice caramel, fruity, toffee and coffee aroma. Strong and full, but not really alcoholic. Sweet flavor, maybe a bit too much, fruity caramel and roasted sugar with some coffee as a slight bitter balance. It reminds of baltic porter as of that coffee. Licorice, some herbal spices and a touch of alcohol are present here as well. Fuller body with longer, sweet roasted malt finish. Alcohol is well hidden for that high ABV, but still felt, of course. A bit unbalanced and sweet for my taste but a fine beer when you take it all.

Dec 6, 2009 Bottle @ Billa, Prague. Pours dark brown with a small creamy white head. Nose is vaguely roasted and very sweet of nuts and chocolate. Taste is even sweeter. Lots of Sugar, syrup and some caramel and dried fruit. Smooth and medium mouthfeel. Way too much syrup and alcohol.

Dec 2, 2009 No head, dark body. Fruity aroma with raisin and plum notes. The flavour is very sweet, moreover sickening sweet. Stick together my lips. i just now realise: i don’t like Primátor beers...:(

Nov 22, 2009 Pours with a fairly dark brown color and a medium head. Aromas of sweet caramel and alcohol. This beer needs to be drunk at fairly cold temperature because it is cloyingly sweet. There is probably some Saaz hops in there but is muted to the point of absence. There is also a fairly strong alcohol component to it. Not all that great.

Nov 4, 2009 This beer needs some serious balancing. The flavor was intense but not quite right. Apparent brown sugar, caramel/molasses, and a definite alcohol kick. Fleeting head although it did produce quite an aroma. Smell definitely set me up for disappointment when the taste didn’t back it up. Overall, disappointed with the beer and actually poured out about 1/4 of it.

Oct 30, 2009 Extremely dark brown with a garnet hue. Very small head formed initially but then fled.
Very, very sweet smelling, with brown sugar, figs, plum, caramel and a big blast of alcohol.
Starts off with a sweet mix of plum, rum and caramel, and then turns even sweeter, with notes of fig, syrup and whatever you can imagine that is ridiculously sweet. No evidence of hops whatsoever.
Low carbonation, full syrupy body that is somewhat cloying.
Overall, it certainly is a shot of flavor, but needs some serious balance. Not very often that a lack of balance means a lack of hops.
