draught at the brewery restaurant. Brown with a creamy beige head and lovely smoky nose. Medium-bodied, good malty base with hints of caramel and smoke. The smokyness is not overpowering, but works well. This is kind of a milder version of a Franconian smoked/Schlenkerla, but definitely with a pleasant smoky character. Shy earthy hops in the finish. Very good to accompany their pork roast from the ancient Slavonic oven below the ground.

Bottle at a tasting. Smoked cola in aroma, however weird that may sound. In flavour ot gets much worse, being intensely sour, mostly lactic in character, sharp and obtrusive. Only the smokiness manages to cut through a bit. Meh.

Bottle(as "Tmavý uzený ležák"= "Dark smoked Lager"):Deep amber coloured, stable creamy off-white head, almost solid nose of ( sweet) burnt wood with bitter caramelly and fruity traces; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, smooth and medium bodied; lingering bitter-smoky finish, cookies and caramel as a counterpart. An unexpected gem from Elbogen(Loket), location for "James Bond: Casino Royal"…
