Thanks Sina! From the Mali Dućan Matejuška in Split. Dark brown body. Aromas of caramel and dark malts mainly. Caramel and the "dark maltiness" continues on into the taste, quite fine and actually complex, with no real hop presence. Sweetish, slightly fruity, slightly soapy. Soft and quite nice - definitely a very good dark lager!

Bottle at home, 06/07/16. Bought at Lidl with a label not currently on here: ’Czech Black Lager’. The bottle also mentions 1506 a few times which does not appear to be on the picture here. Picked up an aroma as soon as I started pouring. Dough, roasted coffee, a hint of herbs. As expected - it’s dark, with a more translucent cola look as the glass gets narrower. Good frothy off-white head. Extremely smooth, with an oily residue. Sweet, followed by bitterness. Not particularly carbonated. I like. Too many could become a bit sickly.
