Budweiser Budvar Tmavý Ležák (Dark Lager)

500ml Bottle - Dark brown with a foamy head. Malty and slightly roasted aroma with hints of dried fruit. Malty and roasted taste with hints of nuts and chocolate.

From keg@Masné Krámy Beerhouse in České Budějovice. Dense, two-finger light brown head. Body is translucent, dark brown. Fresh, light acidulous aroma with coffee and cocoa. Notes of dark bread and hayish hops. Strong malt body, with roasted tones and a fine dryness. More coffee, cocoa and dark bread, and also a hint of sour-sweet fruits and licorice. A gentle bitterness in the backbone. Crisp in the mouth. Very refreshing, high drinkability.

Bottle.Brown colour.Dry and smooth beer. Taste is sweet with caramel and roasty notes.

A nice, milky, smoked aroma. Woody, sweet but with an ashy bitterness. Long dry wood finish. Something coke-like about it. Pretty ace though not perfectly drinkable

Bottle, 500ml. A deep brown colour with a small head. Rich nutty aroma with roasted malt and chocolate. A very malty flavour with cocoa, caramel, nuttiness and a sweet, almost syrupy mouthfeel. A little citrus in the finish. Moderate carbonation. Definitely one I’ll buy again.

Bottle, Sainsbury’s. Brown colour, tan head. Aroma is toasted malts and caramel. Flavour is toasted malts, nuts, caramel. Not bad.

On tap in Prague, pours a dark brown. Smooth mouthful. Mild flavour of nuts, caramel and roasted malt. Much better than ordinary Budvar. Refreshing.

Probably the best dark Czech beer widely available. A dry and remarkably smooth beer that is well worth seeking out on draught when in the Czech Republic
