Trouble Identifying This Font - Rounded Blackletter ?

The text is on a curve... but it should be good enough to identify. If you cannot suggest an exact match then something very similar would be very much appreciated. I'm not a font expert... but it looks like an italic rounded blackletter font with very extended and curvy serifs.

This comes from the National Bohemian Beer label.

See this link for a high resolution photo that shows the font as used on the top of the label.

It's a logo so expect heavy editing.
Not a blackletter, but a Roman face.
The double swash on F is found in Bookmania as an alternate.
But base font is something different. Serifs don't match.
Swash on B is found in Bookmania and several others, including Fairfield.
