Golden with a short/medium lasting white head. Clean malt and hops aroma. Sweet malty flavour for a second, then a sharp hop bitterness. Not bad, not spectacular either.

Bottle: Deep golden coloured, medium-sized, quite firm white head; sweet-malty nose with a touch of vegetables and a distinctive floral hoppiness, a bit metallic; stronger bitter flavour, rather light bodied, quite soft mouthfeel; a bit longer bitter finish, vegetables detectable. Disappointing, the promised "extra bitterness" is not really obvious; should have a fuller body to be a real Bohemian Pilsener. This "germanized" Pilsener looks better than it tastes; let a german trust run a czech brewery and the beer will become dull........................

50cl bottle. Very dark brown, lasting dark beige head. Of the 3 cernys I had I would say that this is my favourite. Malt aroma is better balanced, there is a more sour charcoal malt finish. Less toffee dominated, bit like a mild. Attractive roast malt aroma. good choc/coffee finish. Bit powdery.3.2/5.0 Re-rate On tap at Plachetnice, Plzen. More choccy than I remembered, good fullness. Enjoyable.

(bottle) Dark brown, almost black coloured with a foamy brown medium head. Quite shy sweet roasted malts aroma with traces of caramel, coffee and a faint hoppy touch. Initially sweet malty taste, light bodied, rather watery sweetbitter finish with a sourish touch and notes of chocolate and coffee. Not a very impressing Schwarzbier.
