Had on tap. Dark brown body with clearer edges, tan head, thick bands of lacing. Roast malts and not much else in nose. Taste has cocoa and earth hints, maybe a tiny blip of caramel as it warms. Thin and airy, roasty in a gentle way, otherwise not much here for the body. Not offensive but nothing to seek out

Dark brown color, mid-sized beige head. Sweet aroma of caramel with coffee notes. Taste of caramel, roasted malt, and coffee. Medium bitterness in finish. Long bitter,r and roast aftertaste. Good beer.

Served cool from 330ml bottle into newly acquired glass from Premium Czech Beers.
A) Very dark opaque black with ruby-red tinge against light. Bubbly off-white head, not a lot of fizz apparent.
S) Light chocolate ice cream. Hints of warming dark malts. I've got a feeling I chilled this more than I should have.
T) Nice refreshing roasted malt, a bit like an iced coffee sensation. Again my bad for chilling it too much, but it is good. As it warms up it becomes more stout-like.
M) Good dense mouth feel for a lager style. Again, having it this cold has the effect of an iced coffee drink.
O) Anyone who thinks lager has no flavour should drink this and then think again. Highly recommended.
