Bernard brewery is a Czech story of success. Established a good twenty years ago (in 1991), it quickly became one of the most known Czech breweries. This family brewery produces traditional Czech beers with only the best ingredients. Today, Bernard beers are famous not only around the entire Czech Republic, but also around most of Europe. And best thing yet, it’s still continuing to grow, so we can expect even more pleasant Czech beers from Bernard brew makers.

DESCRIPTION
This Bernard is a very nice dark lager which pour of course with an almost completely black color and is topped with about two fingers of very decent light brown head with quite good retention. The aroma is surprisingly very gentle (not really as expected). It’s slightly sweet and chocolatey (+ some hops). The taste is likewise sweet, chocolatey, almost completely without the roasted feel, which is actually quite nice. The afterfinish comes late and brings along slight and lasting bitterness.
All in all, it’s a very nice and drinkable beer, which isn’t too strong, but still offers just enough taste to completely enjoy it. Good job Mr. Bernard.
