czeching in again

My second Czech acquisition was Primátor, one which has made a very favorable impression in bars.  Now I have a bottle of my own!  It's a doppelbock, 24% of double in fact, so a good investment for a weekend evening.  It's even a whole half liter, so definitely worth my three Spanish euros.
Hmph, lighting is hard
There's a promising color, dark chocolatey brown, and a thick off-white head.  It has a slightly sweet smell, typical of a central European dark beer, and nothing like chocolate.  The taste is a little sugary but not syrupy, which is a plus.  A good clean-tasting beer is what we look for in the summer months.  There is a bit of a bitter aftertaste, but nowhere near ale strength.  It's a dessert-like beer without a doubt, kind of like the porter I had with the Menú de Praga a couple of years ago.  Well, not quite so cakey as that one, but Primátor Double is one you might end a night with.
