(500 ml bottle). Moderate head, dark reddish brown colour. A very flavourful dunkel despite the low ABV - malty, rounded caramelly sweetness, low bitterness. Not bad - would like to try it on tap.
Rerate draught in Prague, compared to Krusovice Cerne: Sweeter than KC, smaller head, more carbonation, less hops, less roastiness, lighter body. Overall 13/20.

I poured this from a tallboy can. It has nice dark color. The foam dissipates quickly. The body and feel is very light akin to a Guinness or Boddingtons in body. The flavor is nice and malty, slightly dark bready, lightly sweet with a very smooth finish. Very minimal effervescence. This is a great intro to dark beer that's light and easy to drink yet flavorful.

Tall boy can, poured into pilsner urquell .5L mug. Grand4 finger head. Smell of dark roasted malt, not burnt at all, very sweet. Taste follows with a very balanced, smooth roasty sweetness. Exceptional quality product. Faint chocolate notes, dry finish. Very good.

Another find from the local Russian market.
Poured from a can.
Looks amazing, with a cola-colored beverage topped by a creamy cap that shows incredible staying power.
The aroma is bready, like a slice of pumpernickel with barely a smidgen of orange marmalade. The sweetness is kept in check, with a light carbonation and smooth finish. I enjoyed this. Sessionable and flavorful at 3.8% ABV!

Deep ruddy brown with clear edges, finger of khaki head that doesn't stick around, nice lace though.
Aromas of dark fruit and caramel, a little bit of bread crust
Sweet. Dark fruit and caramel. Not nearly enough breadiness.
Medium bodied, a little light on carbonation
A bit too sweet for me to enjoy

Today is T, 12 Mai 2020 & I am in deep isolation during the COVID-19 crisis, giving me ample time to clear out my backlog. This one will CANtinue a few days of imports for The CANQuest (tm). This one came to me from local, in-person trader @tone77 following a trip to Italy!
From the CAN: "Kozel Velkopopovický Černý (Dark/Black)"; "Kozel Dark Lager Beer".
I Crack!ed open the vent & beCAN a slow, steady, gentle C-Line Glug into the awaiting glass. It returned the favor an CANoperated by first evincing a pseudo-cascade & then by settling into two-plus fingers of dense, foamy, rocky, deep-tan/light-brown head with excellent retention. Color was Dark Brown to Very Dark Brown (SRM = > 27, < 34) with cola highlights throughout. Nose had a pleasant roastiness with notes of caramel, licorice and semi-sweet chocolate. Mmm. Mouthfeel was medium-to-full, not quite creamy, but on the approach. The taste reminded me of caramel corn, or better, Cracker Jacks, since I also got a peanut-like flavor! Mmm. This was quite tasty & quite easy-drinking. I CAN envision a stein of this at a European restaurant with a nice central-European meal! I think that the BBT in Pittsburgh has closed, but the Red Plate & this would have been wonderful. Finish was semi-dry with a lingering smokiness. Mmm. YMMV.

500 ml bottle. Best Before 03/11/20. Poured into a glass stein.
Look: A cola black, lets a little light through giving a reddish tinge where it does, About 2-3 cm of bubbly off white head that subsides to a thin film over the course of a minute.
Smell: A little grainy malt straight up, there is a little bit of roastiness in there too but I'm not getting much else.
Taste: A little roastiness, some yeastiness (soy/vegemite), some dark chocolate (like a fruity dark chocolate).
Feel: Lighter bodied, clean. Not too much bitterness, but a slight dryness at the end.
Overall: Tasty, I enjoyed it, could easily drink a 5-6 of these on a coolish night.

L. Dark brown with a red tinge, pours with a tight white foam head to about 1 cm. Head dissipates quickly to lacing. S. Pleasantly surprised here as there is a distinct yeasty/vegemite aroma and I rarely notice much smell to most beers. Fades to a grainy/malt hint. T. A little of the smell but a generally solid dark grain taste and dry finish. F. Smooth, moderate carbonation and easily drinkable. O. Solid dark beer, not heavy and easy drinking.

Pours a clear, deep mahogany coloration with a medium, creamy head. Smells of bready, caramel malt with a hint of licorice. Taste follows the nose, being dominated by bready, slightly caramelly and lightly roasted malt with hints of smokiness and licorice. There's also a very light grassy/herbal note to this. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some roasted/smokey notes lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
Pretty nice Dark Lager with a good malt profile that subtly leans towards roasted/smokey notes and very light grassy/herbal hops for balance.

Not really a fan of this one...rationally it does taste pretty ok, it just doesn't really seem to be working for me, it's really heavy and doesn't have enough creaminess or smoothness...just tastes a bit flat and unexciting.

This is a nice dark beer that pours smooth. It has a good amount of foam initially and then retains just a small line of foam after pouring. Right away I'm liking this beer just based on look and pour. My first taste was the foam because I had to drink off some of it to be able to fit the rest of the can into my glass. That first taste I picked up a large note of caramel in it. After the foam faded however so did the caramel flavor. It has a decent smell to the beer but not a very large bouquet. Its not a real heavy beer and has just a hint of bitterness to it. Overall I'm liking it more and more. I'll probably wait a couple more months for when it gets colder before I get another.

Deep red mahogany with excellent hues. Creamy light khaki top, with some fine pin head bubbles, a little bit of carbonation.
Really nice nose. Hints of hazelnut light roast, a touch of milk chocolate as well. A little bit of thickness too.
Clean light toffee, chocolate rich malted milk flavors on the palette. Slight creamy body. Rich but light. Faint hints of light drip coffee on the aftertaste.

Toasty, malty, and mildly nutty, with just a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste. Very brown and translucent when held to the light; clean. A nice mild flavor profile with a silky smooth backbone. Perhaps a little hint of brown sugar, nuts, and mild chocolate in the nose. Easy to drink many because of the mild 3.8% abv. A perfect creamy head that dissipated to a film around the edge of the glass. Like I said, drink several!
