It's pretty good, not as good as Kozel Dark. It lacks complexity and smoothness in the flavour and aftertaste. It's mega light, almost too light for something so dark. Anyway I am going to review again as this review is from memory ; )

Poured from 500mL can into a tall kitchen glass. Best by 5/9/23.
Appearance: medium amber-brown hue with a clear body and a finger of frothy tan foam atop.
Smell: bready and quite caramelly with a bit of toasty malt character as well. It's definitely on the sweet side of the spectrum, but otherwise quite nice.
Taste: toasty, a little bit biscuity, and a little bit bready. Perhaps not as bitter as I think of a Czech dark lager as being, but still, not a bad beer at all.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a moderate carbonation and decent creaminess.
Overall: a solid Czech dark lager. It's definitely quaffable at 4.4%!

It pours a clear, mahogany body. Small beige head with poor retention, but has some lacing.
It has a sweet, earthy aroma of toasted malts, dark chocolate, fruit and caramel.
The taste has sweet and toasted malts, dark chocolate, fruit and coffee. Medium bodied and slightly creamy, with low carbonation.
An excellent dark lager.

A relly nice dark lager with a intense colour and coffee dominated taste. Recommended.

On draft in Bulgaria. Pours the color of cola with a medium head that did not leave lacing. Nose is grainy with some caramel behind it. Not much hops come through at all. Taste is like a cheap euro-lager with some caramel malts added. Finish is not particularly pleasant. Maybe just a touch better than drinking BMC, but not much.

Full disclosure: I had this beer at the brewery.
Dark brown with a good head. A little bit of grass smell. Good taste of Czech hops with malt. Pretty easy to drink.
