kolemkoukolem (2520) - Pilsen, CZECH REPUBLIC - AUG 23, 2019UPDATED: MAR 18, 2020 # 102, 9/2015. Poměrně dost vodovaté, nepříliš výrazné černé pivo, které naurazí ale ani příliš nenadchne.
Edit 3/2020: Roasty and herbal aroma. Dark brown body, very nice beige head. Siple, dry, roasty, coffee flavor. Roasty and herbal finish. Very good bohemian dark lager - but not excelent... 0,5l, bottle, market, Pilsen (Bohemia, CZ).
z87 (3055) - Frydek-Mistek, CZECH REPUBLIC - APR 1, 2019UPDATED: APR 1, 2019 Velké překvapení pro mne bylo, když jsem projížděl TOP50 kategorii Dunkel/Tmavý a nalezl jsem na čtvrtém místě pivo z velkého pivovaru z ČR. Úplně jsem tomu nevěřil, ovšem teď se právě přesvědčuji, že je to pravda. Pivo si nic nezadá ani s Černou sviní, ani legendárním Flekovským ležákem. Vůně i slad je sladce kávová - přirovnal bych to asi k naší Kofile. Tělo plné, v chuti opravdu jen příjemně lehce pražený slad, lahodné doznívání, které by šlo srovnat s Guinnessem, i když je to stále český černý silný ležák a v rámci kategorie splňuje naprosto vše. Vzorové pivo této kategorie. Za 24kč za půllitr v pivotéce? Smekám. Nejlepší pivo cena/výkon v České republice.
Turboninja (2168) - Tampere, FINLAND - DEC 24, 2018UPDATED: DEC 24, 2018 Bottle@home, from Alko webshop. Medium nuances of plum, some fig, oak and a bit of bourbon. Medium taste spectrum and medium aftertaste with dark fruits and some oak. Balanced. Medium body with medium/low carbonation. Overall, natural good quality dark product without distinction. 7 4 7 3 15
77ships (14200) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - DEC 22, 2018UPDATED: DEC 22, 2018 Tasting glass from bottle @ U Kunštátů in Prague.Black, little tanned head. Nose is dark berries & umami syrup, thick. Interesting taste of this umami brambleberry syrup, low roast, herbal, super thick especially compared to other similar Czech beers almost bit much with the heavy umami but overall very neat.
