Bottle. 555 7% version - bought at Aarhus vinhandel. Nice head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are caramel, roast malt, sweet fruits and notes of hops. Tastes more like a dunkel to me.

Big brown shiny lasting head. Deep dark barely translucent brown body with vigourous carbonation. Burnt milky caramel aroma with peppery caramel notes. Dry-sweet roasted almonds and mint taste with wood and caramel notes. Harmonic and balanced. Smooth, fizzy mouthfeel. Dry roasty peppery caramel aftertaste with buttery notes lingers. Excellent! (0.5l bottle, Pivovarsky Klub, Prague.)

17 oz bottle. Some saaz veggie aroma when the lid is popped. Looks like Pale american lager but it sparkles nicely. Typical pilsner flavor with that slight acrid bite in there. Good carbonation. Perhaps a little wary at times. On the finish, leaves a lingering sharp, mildly soapy, pilsner linger for a while in yer mouth.

bottle at Ft Wayne locals tasting courtesy of thedm and hotstuff - Pours clear amber with a thin light tan head. It has a mild lightly roasted malt aroma. The flavor is really sweet. It tastes like a sort of caramel corn syrup mash and is not impressive in the least. It’s light to medium bodied with maybe a touch of hops in the finish. The ratings are considerably higher than I expected. Maybe it lost something crossing the big pond?
