(bottle from Germany, 4.7% ABV, as Lobkow. Baron Urböhmisches Schwarzbier) Clear, dark brown colour with a reddish shine and a medium-sized, light-beige foamy head. Sweet and a bit sugary dark malty aroma with cacao and caramel. Bitter and slightly sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Dark malty, slightly roasted taste with caramel and pretty strong notes of liquorice, lingering into the moderately bitter finish, accompanied with notes of chocolate and a whiff of herbal hops. Nice session beer.

Bottled(500ml). -Cloudy orange coloured, medium sized airy white head, perfumey nose. Very smooth. The aroma is malty, nice hoppy and fruity (lemon and apple). Mild hoppy aftertaste. Nice and pleasant taste which is slightly worse than Vevoda.

Undated bottle, though well-aged, I’m quite sure, consumed on 8/21/06.
Snow-white head tops a bubbly medium-golden body with some light brass tints. Retention is strong for its age, though it is filtered, of course, and does recede eventually to a ring, with no lacing.
Peppery/grassy and herbal hops are apparent immediately, in the nose, with an oiliness, almost wood-like, in the background, welded to lightly doughy, lightly honeyish malts. Very light, but not as plush as usual, with a bit more hard an edge to the malts. Though this seems to do no harm, only making it more crisp. Relatively clean yeast, here, without the heavy mineral nature classic of these yeasts. Hops lighten and become flowery, with some light vanillin on the very end, though not overly problematic.
A balance is achieved between sweet, sticky honey and harder, huskier grains, while a moderate hop bitterness keeps things fairly bright. Still some flowery hop flavor, and the carbonation is appropriate. About as good as it gets in a filtered/forced carbonated, imported bohemian pils.
Like usual, most reviews comment on how drinkable it is, some call it pleasant, almost none have anything bad to say, but yet the numbers do not follow.

Dark reddish brown with a thin off white head. Sweet doughy malt aroma, with notes of caramel. Sweet malt in mouth, with light caramel, and light burned coffee notes. A bit oxidized. Medium bodied, with some light metallic alcohol in finish. Nuttyness develops as beer warms up. BB 9-9-05. Trade from Piscator in Spring 2005.

Clear yellow color, big white head. Aroma of czech hops, bit floral. Quite bitter taste, soft, bit watery. Decent bohemian pilsener.

Slightly hazy blonde coloured body with copper tints. A nice white head tops the beer. Aroma of an eastern european lager - skunky malt with some light, very low a.a. hops. Medium-bodied; Funky metallic taste. Bitter finish with some sweet tastes throughout. Aftertaste clean, but unimpressive. Overall, not horrible, but not showing enough character. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Trader Joe’s in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia on 01-April-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Bottle (bought at the Pivni Galerie, Praha): Golden coloured, mid-sized firm head; medium malty nose, traces of caramel and a tinge of hops; initial shy maltiness is overtaken by a very slight hoppiness, which influences the a bit drier aftertaste. A so-so brew, nothing special, nothing overwhelming..........

Bottled(500ml). -deep amber coloured, small pale beige head, toasted malty nose. Malty caramel aroma with notes of toffee and nuts. Also mild coffee notes in the background.
Bottled(330ml). -I’ve tried this beer before three years, but just now realised that I’ve rated wrong beer, Barrandov instead of Baron, now is too late that I remember anything about this beer so I’m going to leave my old rating until I taste it again, demon is much better beer than this. 6-3-6-3-13

Bottle: Dark golden colour, big rocky off-white head, quite quickly diminishing; nice malty (bready) and fruity (honey) nose; sweet malty beginning, light bitter flavour, becoming a bit dryer towards the end; sweet, but also distictive bitter, aromatic aftertaste; medium bodied, a bit fizzy; a very good example of a typical , dominated by malts, moravian Lager. Very well quaffable.....
