Really helpful in navigating the vast and complex world of Czech beer. We did a similar dark lager taste-off once (in the days before Brew Dog rose to world dominance) and also thought that Bernard was by far the best of those we tried. Budvar Dark is easy to get hold of here in London, so it's the one I drink most often. It does sound like your bottle was a stinker, though.

What you describe doesn't sound like what I enjoyed on tap at Budvarka at all, though it was in a different format. As for the brewery, BrewDog has been gaining some notariety here in the States, and we see Punk IPA come in waves. Makes me wonder if Chaos Theory will be a big hit here, too, though I'd rather see something different from their lineup (i.e. Paradox!).

I also thought that ZeitGeist was dryer and hoppier than your usual Czech dark lager. It reminded me more to something that Strahov can make than Herold. I wonder which Czech darks they got their inspiration from. Really interesting post.
