Roasted aroma. Brown with red tint. Flavor of roasted malt, but one dimensional and not much flavor at all. Low ABV but alcohol is present in the taste. Don’t bother with this beer.

Dark Czech beers are a little harder to find than their Bohemian Pilsner cousins but I think there must be better out there. This was out of balance, needing more hops to support the overly sweet chocolate palate. O.K. but not great.

Clear golden color, short white head. Hoppy aroma. Hopbitter taste. What more to say? It's just a pretty average example of the Czech pilseners.
