Lahev (Diky, Quack-Ducku!): Clear, deep golden coloured with a big - slowly collapsing - loose white head; a tinge of vanilla and bisquits in the sweet pale-malty nose; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied and soft; shorter, not too hoppy, sweet-bitter finish. Could be even better with a good dash of hops.....

(bottle, courtesy of Quack-Duck) Clear, golden colour with a big and steady, slightly off-white foamy head. Sweet and biscuity, slightly bready malty aroma with hints of vanilla and a shy hoppy touch. Sweet flavour, medium bodied with a soft carbonation. (Cara-)malty taste with notes of biscuits and light herbal and woody hops, sweet malty and slightly hop-bitter finish. Quite pleasant Bock-like brew. 09.VI.10

Tap@Vltava, Helsinki. Dark brown with a nice beige head. Weak aroma of chocolate and caramel, flavor is nicely sweet, but not too sweet, mostly caramel and some coffee, very easy to drink. Nice dunkel.

29/10 0.5 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing! It poured darker reddish brown body with medium sized beige head. Quite ordinary caramel and coffee aroma. Flavor was balanced between sweetish caramel and coffee roasted malts. Pretty simple and none of those two is too prominent. Thinner to medium body, still it had quite short, slightly caramel finish. Some herbal hops might be emerging here, as well. Didn’t particularly like it as of ts simplicity and lack of stronger character, but it’s a decent brew for sure.

Bottle probably from the Albert hypermarket in Chodov, Prague, shared with heavy Poured a dark red body going black with a beige head that went away at a medium pace. Dry malty nose reminiscent of milk caramel, slightly roasty and sweet. Light roasty taste with notes of caramel, dry, not all that sweet for a Czech dunkel... maybe more coffeeish than chocolatey, but both descriptors are a bit stretched. Even some extremely weak notes of herbal hop floated in for a second once. It’s an ok dark beer that’s more a schwarzbier than a dunkel in my book but still not enough to care about it. All in all, a solid enough choice in a Czech supermarket.

Bottled "Dark Lager" (BB 10/2010)
Dark brown color, small beige head. Chocolate, cardboard, dominantly roasted rye-bread/malts in the nose. Medium-bodied - quite good body actually for 11 plato Czech lager. Caramelly, chocolaty, mild roasted malty flavor. Light hoppyness behind the sweet aftertaste, some licorice too. Balanced, ok Czech dunkel.
