Staropramen Velvet

Brewed by Staropramen Breweries (InBev)
Style: Irish Ale
Prague, Czech Republic

Had this in Prague on draft and it’s the nicest beer I’ve ever drunk. The locals are very proud of the "cascade" effect of when it settles after being poured. Smooth creamy and with a wholesome flavour - thumbs up!

One of my favorite Czech beers. Looks great in glass: color and creamy foam. Creamy aroma, best when fresh. Smooth.

Flows smooth, beautiful filling out. Firm, full head, like a stout, strange. One of the smoothest beers I’ve had, easily the smoothest Czech beer. Downside is it lacks distinct flavor - kind of like Anchor Steam. Probably the most aptly named beer. also can’t understand the low rating - perhaps its awful out of the can; i had on tap in Brno.

Nitrogen can. Czech beer that looks and tastes like fine British ones. Great, great look - amber colour, very thick and creamy head. Rich aroma - creamy, fruits, hops, little bitterness, no alcohol notes. Very smooth and very, very good; how is it possible that such a gem has an overall rating only slightly higher than some Heineken stuff?

I’m not a big fan of ales, but with Velvet I have to admit that there is something special about this one. The head is so thick you almost have to eat your way through it. Always served in specially shaped 0.4l glasses which enables the spectacular avalanche-effect (not to mention 0.4l is pretty unusual in Czech bars). One recommendation - NEVER drink it from a tin - it makes it completely different beer as it looses most of the avalanche-effect. More substantive characteristics: well balanced palate-wise, creamy, dark golden colour, long sweet finish.

Great beer, huge lasting head, nice avalanche effect. Dark orange-brown colour. One of my first trys of Czech beer.

I drank this when I was in Prauge some time ago. Only on tap and bottle, didn’t even know you could find it in a can. However, you can’t get in i Sweden and my memories are a bit hazy. I do seem to recall though a very creamy foam, not very different from whipped cream or molten vanilla ice cream. Also very smooth and non-offensive (and I mean this in a good way).

Kitöltve egész pazar habot produkál,ami alatt vöröses színű itóka pihen.Virágos,komlós illata van.Íze malátás,fűszeres de a komló keserűje is kellemesen érezhető rajta.Nem túl szénsavas,könnyen iható és finom keserédes utóízével bizony itatja is magát rendesen!Szerintem a szigetország pubjaiban is elismerően csettintenének e sör kóstolása után!
