Draught at the brewpub
Dark brown color; big thick head. Sweet aroma, caramel, malt, a touch of vanilla. Light body structure, and poor flavor that doesn’t match the aroma; dry, with some roasted malt and caramel. At the end there is a light roasted malt line and light hop. Refreshing but nothing special.

On tap at U Fleku. Very dark bron with thick beige head. Slightly sour aroma. Dark malts are slightly charcoaly but there’s some toffee. Some creaminess in the mouth. I quite like this even though the waiters are slightly pushy. Good dark lager, plenty of subtle dark malt flavours with a slightly sour/dry finish. Bit of liquorice, just lacks the body

Medium, brown creamy head over dark red almost opaque black hazy body. Sweet toffee/licorice aroma with roasty notes. Deep, sweet, complex taste of licorice and spiec with some acidity in the aftertaste. Excellent!

Draught at U Fleku in May 2006.Dark brown color, big creamy beige lasting head. Butterscotch and burnt scent. A bit burnt taste. Lots of butterscotch in the taste as well. Medium mouthfeel, medium bitterness. Fruity aftertaste.I had 5 on the row in there, it’s hard to stop drinking this wonderful beer!Also tried it on bottle brought back from the brewery, it was not at all as sweet and nice as it is at the brwery, even though I only bought it 21 days before drinking the bottle. Still, the drink at the brewery on draught is awesome, just not a good idea to buy it and bring it back home...Rating from May 2005:It’s quite expensive at this classic (the worlds oldest) brew pub, and a real "tourist trap" indeed. But the beer has a special character to it and it’s still a must to go to the place to try it out. A bit spicy, quite dark brew.Ar: 8 Ap: 4 Fl: 8 Pa: 4 Ov: 16RerateDraught at U Fleku on June 30, 2008Dark brown to black color, fluffy light brown head. Spicy and sweet taste, rather refreshing.

Dark brown colour, dense finger high head. The aroma was roasted malt with a brief touch of smoke. Really roasty flavour of malt, dark chocolate, coffee and toffee.

Bottle. Dark brown colour, a little muddy looking. Sourish aroma. Smooth liquorice flavour. Aftertaste is a little bready. IIRC, this is a lot better fresh from the tap.

Draught at the brewpub. Black colour. Good stable light brown head. The flavour is OK roasted. Mildly caramelly, quite nice. Thin but nice. 7 3 7 3 17

Right from the tap in the tourist’s trap called U Fleků: very dark amber coloured, almost as black as the furniture in the old beer-hall, firm, lasting brown foamy head,malty nose with a sourish tinge from far behind, taste: roasted malts, a tinge of sweetness only in the beginning, dry malty lasting finish with a shy bitterness. O.K., but this beer is exclusively brewed for bloody tourists, only a foolish czech beer-enthusiast would pay for less than 0,5 l twice as much as in an excellent but normal Prague pub....

Creamy, light brown head - mostly diminsihing. Good lace. Black body. Toasted and coffee aroma. Lightly sweet, moderately bitter initial flavour. Lightly bitter (long) finish. Medium body. Soft carbonation.
