U Fleku Tmavy Lezák 13°

Brewed by Pivovar U Fleku
Style: Dunkel
Prague, Czech Republic

Tap at U Fleku. Dark hazy color. Taste was a bit sweet with som roasty notes and a finish filled with chocolat and caramel.

Tap at the Fleku. What a huge and atmospheric pub. I suppose you are either grinning at the good time atmosphere or feeling a little awkward and shy. We loved it. Everyone was smiling and friendly. The waiters are friendly and honest, and people are mainly relaxed and enjoying themselves, though you can spot those who feel out of place - they look a little stiff and embarrassed. The beer is black and malty sweet. Quite delicious. Fresh and easy drinking. It’s soon gone, and then it’s time for another one, and then it’s time for the bitter Becherovka liquor to wash it all down. A great experience!

Huge beige head, black body. Sweet aroma of toffe and roasted malt. In the flavour is some coffe, roasted malt and some sweetnes, good carbonation. Good but not an exciting one, avarge...I expected more about that famous beer...

This is from beer house where Hajduk was founded and as a fan of Dinamo I should avoid it. Anyway I heared that they had good beer and it is great no matter of football :))

Back from a Czech Republic pub-crawl this is part of my express ratings for the “typical” Světlý 11°- (Czech light Pils), Světlý 12°+ (Czech Pils), Polotmavý (Czech Amber Lagers) and Tmavý (Czech Black Lagers). Non-typical beers will receive personalized descriptions after the express ratings.
-------- /> How: Tap at brewpub (Pivovar U Fleku, Prague)
The look: Almost black body with a large tan head.
To me a typical Czech Tmavé (Czech Black Lager) is: Dark malts and barely any roastiness sensation. Some dark fruits flavours (raisins with a little figs, dates and prunes) wrapped in smooth dark caramel (borderline toffee) and a subtle chocolate note. A bit bready. Moderately sweet without much hops presence and only a mild bitterness (voluntary unbalanced it seems). Very smooth body, like a watery cream.
This one: Pretty much as above. Typical example of a style. Overall slightly above average quality-wise.

Draught, U Fleku/Praha. Head is initially average sized, frothy, light brown, mostly lasting. Body is dark brown to black. Aroma is moderately malty (toasted grain, molasses, chocolate milk), with a note of vanilla. Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Fun atmosphere (except the waiter who kept bugging people to take the shots of apple schnapps or whatever the heck it was...leave me alone!) with the accordian guy and lots of singing from the guests. The beer is just ok, kind of boring.

Draught at U Fleku. Dark hazy brown with a beige head. Sweet roasty and bready aroma. The flavor is a little sweet, has some faint hops, and a light roast. The carbonation is a little too high. Easy to drink overall and pretty pleasant, but not quite as good as the other dunkels in Pragues brewpubs.
