Bottle, picked up from the Dodgy Deli (Classic Deli) Cowley Rd, Oxford 09-02-07 for 50p a bottle. Pours light golden, aroma had some malt and hoppy notes. Taste was a tad dissapointing, as it came across as quite thin, little bit sweet, yes there was the malt and hops and it did have some characteristics of some of it’s more famous compatriots but overall I’ve had much better. But at 50p a bottle I shouldn’t really complain and if at a BBQ or something similar this would probably go down a treat.

Bottle, 3.8%. Weak but OK bready aroma. Clear dark brown colour. Nice and stable light brown head. The flavour is quite roasted in a mildly bready way, a hint of sourness. Rather pleasant beer, nothing fancy. 6 3 6 3 12

Bottle, 4.5%. The flavour is quite sweet to begin with, but one gets used to it. Also nicely roasted. 6 3 6 3 14

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, reddish brown with a small, beige head. Sweetish, roasted malt aroma - like malt drops. Fairly light body with sweetish, roasted malt - a bit like Danish "hvidtøl". The bitterness is very subdued. A classical, Czech Dunkel. 240107

Bottled. A clear, amber beer with a beige head. Mild, roasted aroma with coffee, chocolate and toffee. Prunes, roasted malt, toffee and notes of coffee. All this sounds quite nice, but it reminded me more of a Danish Hvidtøl than a dunkel because of the sweetness. It has a medium body and a sweet finish with some roastiness. Rating: 4-4-4-3-8-2.3. 070103

Bottle. A clear copper-colored beer with a small beige head. Coffee, roasted malts, diacetyl and a fruity and grainy touch on the nose. Sweet flavor with roasted, coffeeish maltyness and some diacetyl. Medium body. The overall impression isn’t as sweet as last time, but it’s still not a favorite. 100618

0.5l bottle bought somewhere in Graz, 4.9% Poured a golden colour with a small white head. The nose is definitely odd. Sweetish, olive oil, cabbage, malt.... The taste is watery and underwhelming. Malt doesn’t play that big a role here... ordinary and slightly weak. The hopiness didn’t impress me much. Some nice lemony notes show up but it’s a bit overall. Bitter hoppy aftertaste. Definitely not in the first league of Bohemian Pilseners.
