Can (batch 168) from Galerie Piva Vršovice. Veery dark red, almost black, brownish head, thick but medium retention. Plethora of roasty notes in the aroma, backed by a smooth light sweetness, pulling them at times slightly towards chocolatey, but at others it's just plain ol' roast, some very dark bread, light light soy sauce, traces of alcohol. Pleasant most of the time, but cold the roastiness is a bit too rough. The taste is a letdown after that. Lean, creamy but quite thin before heading into a rough roasty finish, only slightly chocolatey... like when chocolate cookies get burnt too much, bitterish. Vague herbal, maybe if I stretch my imagination citric touches. Needs a rethink of the malt bill, this one gets messy. Would love to love it but it's not quite all there.
