Klášter Tmavé Výčepní (Dark Beer) 10°

Brewed by Pivovar Klášter
Style: Dunkel
Hradiště nad Jizerou, Czech Republic

From a 12 oz bottle this poured a chocolate brown with a small and quick fading light tan head and minimal lacing. Mouthfeel is medium and fairly smooth. Nose roasted malts, and some roasted nuts. Flavor is of burnt malts and some chocolate. Sweet finish.

Ahh, yes. Malty, mild chocolaty wet wood aroma. Brown, like rootbeer without any red tinge. The wet wood carries over to the flavors. Also has wet leather on the palate. Metallic at times with a weird unhopped savory finish. Interesting and unique, nice brew, rather enjoyable.

pours out a dark brown color with nearly no head. aroma is malty and grainy. flavor is not bad. has a roasted malt backbone with a bit of sweetness

Sparkling brown,fast fading tan head.Acidic malt nose.Brown sugar sweetness, somewhat astringent, not a great effort

This ok but not really my favourite style. It is very dark brown, almost black with a thin foamy top and ring, not a real head. The aroma is burnt sugar, beans, slightly sour plums, and brown bread. The taste is burnt bread, old plums, a little chocolate, hints of earth & burnt sugar. It’s mostly a bit sweet with a light sourness and light burnt bitterness. The finish is more interesting with a light spice and pepper quality. It also has a quality of old root beer mixed with burnt toast, which seems kind of normal for old-fashioned, low-ABV dark beers (like mild, too). It’s easy to drink and rather light, while at the same time having an active palate and subtle complexity but doesn’t seem that great, unlike their premium lager/14 svetly.

Bottle 500 ml
Appearance: Brown cola like appearance with fairly fine top. Light fragmental lace noted.3+
Nose : Sweet nose , mainly consisting of brown sugar , some toffee and cocoa.6+
Flavor/Palate : Medium bodied, perhaps slightly on thin side. Flat brown malt interpretation, slightly moldy, earthy chocolate like brew. Boring and flat.

Thanks to EDA for sharing this one. Vegetal, celery and clay, and a husky malt at the fore. A lack of carbonation makes this a real easy drinker, with a warm maltiness, waffles and mint. Lots of different and tasty flavors coming through in this one definitely made it a winner for me. Mike dumped his but I gladly finished off the bottle.

bottle. vanilla, cinnamon, cola--more "winter" than the winter brew. Forgetable for me.
