Clear dull gold, frothy white head with some lacing. Smells mostly like cooked corn, cooked malts and a touch of tomtoe puree too. The taste is brutally husky, notes of cooked vegetables, expectedly dry and thin, with a strong alpha acid bitterness. Smells and tastes bad, but at least the bitterness makes you quickly forget that after every sip.
Almost black with clear ruby highlights, beige head with good lacing. The aroma is dark sugars, also some grains and spicy hops and even light dark fruit and dark bread notes. The taste qiute dry for a dark lager - still has those dark sugar notes but more like roast than sweetness. Medium body, smooth carbonation. Light clean firm hoppy bitterness. Well, it might not have the richness and flavour of a good stout or a dunkler bock, but it is a very clean and polished Tmavy. UPD. As the beer warms up, it really gets theta velvety dark sugar, dark sourdough bread, smooth spicy hop balance. Gets really good with temperature.

BOTTLE 50 CL. Hazy dull amber, off-white head. Pretty strong fruity aroma, ripe banana and some Orchard fruit, some sweet bread too. Similar taste, fruity and bready, no phenolic spice at all, not much hops bitterness either. A little grainy in the after taste. The body lacks the richness of a good weizen. Mediocre.

Bottle in trade with ciocanelu, cheers Silviu! Pours golden amber with a lasting off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, light hop and fruit, also slightly herbal and medicinal. Quite high sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, sticky texture, average to soft carbonation.

BOTTLE 50 CL. Clear deep golden, creamy head. Cereals and proper malts nose, not much hops. The taste is pretty malty, there’s quite a but if sweetness. But, unlike the Traditional variety, there’s a bit of hops thrown in too - the grassy wood kind of bitterness. Not bad, overall - quite malty and hoppy.

BOTTLE 50 CL. Clear deep golden, white head. Smells of wet cereals, some husk - still, not terrible. The taste is clean malts, light sweetness, a little thin, some dusty grains and just a hint of bitterness. At least it is free of obvious flaws.
