Opaquer cola- to chestnut coloured beer; small beige, slightly irregular head. Rainwater, wet dog but also malt syrup, bready and leafy; suggesting serious sweetness. Way less sweet than expected, in fact, serious punch of bitterness, both roasted and chestnut - of the horse persuasion. Gets sweeter all the same once warming up, returning to the bready aromacomponent. Bit empty, watery; just hints at grist slickness. Long bitterish aftertaste. Surprisingly bitter - which doesn’t spoil anything, of course. Many thanks to Honza!

Malty, roasted taste with notes of chocolate, coffee, hints of sweet liquorice and dark fruit. Gentle roasty bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Quite nice.

draft at pivovarsky klub in prague. lightly hazed cola brown colored body. nut and coffee ground nose with small notes of rubber/petroleum. cola-like sweetness, resembles some kvass i’ve had but without the bile. decent texture, nothing of note, just a little oily. medium body. a little too sweet and all around a very simple recipe that doesn’t really show off the czech brewing tradition.
