Malty, bready and buttery with some grainy notes, grass, hay, hints of honey and sweetness, mild bitterness and rustic notes. Quite balanced and authentic Czech lager. Crushable.

Canned 473ml. -at Beerselection Budapest. Murky orange coloured, medium sized off-white head, citrusy and light oaty nose. Citrusy, oaty, light peachy and touch of grapefruity with light herbal notes. Bitterish finish. Pleasant one.

500mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has toasted hazelnuts, bourbon barrels, and molasses. Flavour is less complex, with dark dried fruits, molasses, a bit of aspartame, and bourbon barrels. Less good than the nose suggests, but it’s alright.

Dark brown. The nose is a bit nutty, light chocolate. On the palate, decent fruit, light barrel. It's decent.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Near black with minimal beige head. Charred nutty bitter wood aroma. Bitter wood taste forward, some feint sweet bourbon in the background. Okay, but unbalanced in my opinion.
