Strakonický Dudák Tmavý Ležák

Bottle from Pivni Galerie. Cola brown with a collapsing tan head. Aroma dark chocolatey malt, slight wood, urinal and raisin. A healthy dose of roasted malt bitterness melting into straw, caramel and biscuit. Opens promisingly but loses its way a bit...

Bottled. A brown beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of straw and caramel, while the flavor is sweet and dominated by caramel.

bottle, bought @ Pivní Galerie. Dark brwon colour, large and peristent head. Malty with hints of roasted malt and caramel, shy hoppiness in the background. Well-balanced.

Bottle: Ruby-amber coloured, medium-sized head, quickly diminishing to a persistent foamy layer, visible carbonation, moderate roast-malty, a bit coffeeish nose with a tinge of molasses, sweetish caramel also detectable plus a very small amount of hops; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, light bodied; becomes then a bit drier, in the light bitter-sweet finish. A decent, but a bit thin (yes,FIL) brew...........

on tap at the blind tasting at modry abbe in klatovy. purple with a steady beige head. lacklustre texture, some molasses and swinning pool aroma, decent burnt bitterness but overall a touch thin
