Staropramen Kelt Original Stout

Formerly brewed at Staropramen Breweries (InBev)
Style: Dry Stout
Prague, Czech Republic

An opaque red-brown beer with a nice light orange-brown head. The aroma is sweet roasted with notes of bread, malt, and chocolate. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted bread, malt, and a dry hoppy end.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours almost black with an orange hue and a fine, creamy nitro-like head. Hard roasted malt in the nose. Light body, soft and velvety mouthfeel with a somewhat flat carbonation - as typically found in nitro beers. Notes of hard roasted malt and licorice. Malt bitter finish. Very Guinness-like. 251208

Bottled. Black with creamy head. Roasty coffee nose. Dry and grassy with notes of chocolate and somehwat thin mouthfeel. Metallic finish with more coffee and a fair amount of bitterness.

50 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a lacing tan head. Aroma is hard roasted malt and light hoppy too. Flavour is solid roasted malt with a light liqourice note. Holds a minor metallic note too. Ends with solid acidity from the hardroasted malt mixed with a nice dry bitterness.

Draught. Settles nicely, like Guinness. Actually, it looks a lot like G, the head being a little less creamy and solid. OK creamy stout. Bitter, aftertaste of bitter chocolate. I liked the bottled version better. It has a lot more taste (perhaps because I didnt chill it too much).

Bottled. Deep ruby red colour, mediumsized brown creamy head. Aroma is roasted malts, caramel, some toasted notes as well as notes of black, mild coffee. Flavour is roasted malts, coffee, some balancing up flowery and grassy hops. Aftertaste is toasted and quite much coffee.

Dark color. Aroma of wet paperboard and dust; some malt and roasted malt. Medium strength body structure, strong bitterness, some malt, loads of caramel, chemicals. Bad.

Dark brown with medium creamy beige head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. Sweet flavor with fairly hard roasted malt, caramel, chocolate, coffee and hops finishing it off bitter.
