Draft. A very dark brown beer with a red shine under a lazing brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, caramel, and licorice, leading to a dry, bitter, and roasted finish. Too sweet and too alcoholic for my liking.

15/VI/09 - from the wooden barrels @ brewery tour, Plzeňský Prazdroj brewery (Plzen), BB: n/a

From memory... Tasted before I started taking notes of my beers. Only have a picture of the caves, not of the beer itself. I remembered the beer being rather hazy, with a solid rocky white head on top. Bread yeast aroma and taste were present, with a nice malty touch and a bitter finish, but that's pretty much all I remember about it. It was however WAY better than the regular Urquell on draft.

Back then, we were told that this same beer was poured at a few local venues in Plzen, including the Brewery Museum, which was closed that day.

Will try again, if I ever get the chance in the future!
