Jan 3, 2006 Roasty and thin. Enjoyed at Strahov Kloster brewpub on a hilltop overlooking Prague, a charming city, on Christmas Day, 2005. The beer could have been thicker, for a dunkel. Nice beer mugs used to serve it.

Aug 7, 2005 Updated: Mar 24, 2008First experience on tap at the brewpub, in 2005:
The Lure:
Another great head collapses slowly onto atttractive roasted malts, anise-y sweetness and blackberry/blueberry fruitiness.
The Festivities:
The strong carbonation and fruity esters of the yeast make both of the beers I had here seem quite Belgian. Caramel and chocolate caress languorously and roasted malt bitterness and dryness. The balanced sequence of flavors also proffers various fruity suggestions, and a touch of star anise, all the while remaining a comfortable pint to quaff. 3.8/5
Transcendence:
Watching a talented sculptor at work.
Second experience on tap, in 2008:
The chocolatey roastiness took the form of earthy tobacco and the balancing herbal hop finish made for a very well structured pint. The body is overall leaner than the usual Czech Tmavé. 3.6/5

Aug 5, 2005 By far my favorite beer during my trip to the Czech Republic which cut prematurely short, unfortunately. Pours brown/black with a tan head. Smelled of nuts and sugar. Tasted of caramel and toffee. Nice peppery finish. Wish I could get this one back home.

Jun 29, 2005 Very dark brown with thick, frothy tan head. Like their Easter (Velikonocni) beer, a huge nose that was surprisingly bitter. Roasted, burnt caramel flavor with a dry, hoppy finish. Best dunkel I’ve ever had, beating the hell out of U Fleku.

Mar 29, 2005 Draught at the brewpub/restaurant at the monastery. Dark brown, nearly black colour. Thick creamy head. Aroma of roasted malts, some leather, hints of treacle. Solid flavour of roasted malts and coffee, notes of dark bitter chocolate. Reminds me of a Baltic porter. Dry bitter aftertaste from the roastiness and hops. A very good beer - good enough to make me go back the next day for more! By the way - the brewery restaurant serves decent food too.
