(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, reddish brown with a small, beige head. Sweetish, roasted malt aroma - like malt drops. Fairly light body with sweetish, roasted malt - a bit like Danish "hvidtøl". The bitterness is very subdued. A classical, Czech Dunkel. 240107

Bottled. A clear, amber beer with a beige head. Mild, roasted aroma with coffee, chocolate and toffee. Prunes, roasted malt, toffee and notes of coffee. All this sounds quite nice, but it reminded me more of a Danish Hvidtøl than a dunkel because of the sweetness. It has a medium body and a sweet finish with some roastiness.

Bottle. A clear copper-colored beer with a small beige head. Coffee, roasted malts, diacetyl and a fruity and grainy touch on the nose. Sweet flavor with roasted, coffeeish maltyness and some diacetyl. Medium body. The overall impression isn’t as sweet as last time, but it’s still not a favorite. 100618

[I find the label of my beer more red than brown - but it is the 4.1% ABV version - so this is where my rating goes] A deep red beer with a huge light brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of berries. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of berries - cowberries comes to mind, on a malty background, but also hints of metal comes thru, before the quite dry and slightly woody end sets in. The strong sweetness and berry notes - makes me think of a pilsener mixed with a raspberry sodapop - the Czech type of Radler?

Dark brown, small tanned head. Yeasty, malty nose. Malty, lemony, sweetish. Unclean tap in SBWF festival ruined this a bit.

500 ml bottle, bought in Denmark. The 4.1% and the 4.7% B.B. Dark versions were sold side by side, with a different label. This version pours relatively light reddish brown with a moderate off-white head. Moderate aroma of caramel malts, hints of oak and roastiness. Flavour is relatively sweet and one-dimensional of caramel malts, but not unpleasant. Notes of fresh rye bread. Light bodied, easy drinking.
