4.7% ABV version from the SAQ, in a green bottle. Wow... beautiful roasted malt nose with some light smoke and nuts. Colour is a clear copper with a creamy off-white cap, decent lasting with some good thick lacing. The taste is on the sweet side though, not showing much of the roasted malt. Second sip seems less sweet, almost watery. The smell disappears as well, but when you swirl your glass, some nice aromas come back, even a bit of coffee. Too bad the flavours are not present. Just some dull malt and this sweetness that comes and goes.

Extremely nice and stable white foam. Color is darkish brown. Aroma is bready and has a lots of caramel in it. Taste is a little bit too bitter, but aftertaste is smooth and round. In the taste this beer has caramel and quite strong hoppyness.

Fine and pleasant dark lager, with some very characteristic Porter features. One of the best Czech dark beers. Soft and mild, but enough solid to feel the variaty of its flavours. Going mostly watery, but with delicate and well expressed sweetness in a mouth. Attractive caramel and honey aroma, nice dark (balck reddish) colour, medium soft foam. Malty background with mild spicy and fruity flavour, caramel expression, some chocolate hints. The sweetness is not overdosed and finely mixed with malty and yeasty flavours. Well balanced and finely expressed. Leaves fine malty and fruity aftertaste. I was drinking with real pleasure. Good example of mild but solid brew.

Had it as Samson Černý Tmavé Výčepní. Dark brown colour with brownish beige head, leaves lacing. Sweet aroma of caramel and also hints of honey and a bit roast. Sweetish fruity and caramelly flavour with notes of roasted malt. Not much aftertaste.
