Sampled on 11/6/2011. This dunkel pours a dark brown color from a 500ml bottle. Small to medium sized beige thick foamy from a 500ml bottle. The aroma is bready, fruity, brown sugar and sweet, with a touch of chocolate and some hops. A medium bodied dunkel. The malts are bready, fruity, chocolate and brown sugar. The hops are herbal and earthy. Decent carbonation. Perhaps a touch sweet at the finish. Nice drinkable dunkel. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet .

(on back: Primátor Pivo Tmavý lezák, on front: Primátor Velikonocní lezák). Dark rubyish amber colour, big beige head. Roasted malts, caramel and some diacetyl in aroma. Flavour starts caramelly and sugary sweet and then goes towards a maltyness and finally some hoppy bitterness. The sweetness gets to a point almost annoying after the beer gets warmer, so enjoy cold to avoid extra sweetness. While cold it’s quite wellbalanced in my opinion. Due to label it looks like an Easter Beer. Also flavour is Eastery. Rich carbonation.

Rerate, 500 ml bottle, as Primátor Premium Dark. ABV is 4.8%. Will be imported to Norway. Mahogany coloured beer, big beige head. Nice aroma of brown bread and caramel. Malty flavour with notes of brown bread and caramel again, slightly roasty, low bitterness. Original rating: (500 ml bottle, bought in Sweden). I somehow managed to delete my original comments here, damn! But this is still a nice dunkel, deep reddish brown colour, decent head. Flavour is malty and bready with a moderate but nice roastiness, notes of caramel, moderately sweet. I would like some more hops in the finish, but that’s the Czech dunkel style, I guess.
