look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

From notes. On tap at the beer museum in Prague.

Almost an opaque black with faint ruby/mahogany highlights at the bottom of the glass. Moderate, tan colored head. Good lacing, less than average retention.

A moderately roasty, nutty nose with some sweet cola/caramel.

Similar flavor, roasty, chocoalte, nuts, with a good herbal hop balance.

Good body for a lager, fullness holds up the dark.

Overall a good dark lager, acceptable in every way, but not a standout.

Serving type: on-tap
