0.75l bottle purchased at 1. Pivní Máj... should've probably been shared but hey. Shared with Gurthnar, Ondra V, Barba & Elena... what was left after it bloody gushed. Expected the worst after that but... err... that didn't happen. Alcohol showed up in the aroma, but also a nutty, caramelly malty aroma, hmm... Malty, flat (guess it all went out), nutty, caramelly taste, lightly citric, bitterish, smooth... actually kinda nice. Shame it gushed, earliest traces of something going on and it triggered that. One can see it was initially a decent beer. But it was in the fridge the whole time, sooo....

Bottle shared by Marko himself. Bottle gushed, but still it has a mostly clear amber colour. Med-thin body, med carbo. Med-high sweetness, med-light bitterness. Moderate caramel, med-light dried fruits and overall estery fruitiness. Drinkable, ok, not the cleanest tho. And why did it gush? Overall average.

Draught Small lace, transparant, over deeper amber beer, still. Dry caramel nose, maybe mushrooms, almonds. Sweet, restsugars abundant, toasted malts & some caramel. Again some almonds. Medium bodied, bit sticky. Decent, but no more than a 13 to the dozen.
