Don’t let this Dark Czech-Style Lager fool you. The dark hue might look intimidating, but its flavor is deceptively smooth and easy drinking. This classic beer maintains a crisp taste, while the balanced malt gives plenty of depth. Aromatic and refreshing with a dry finish, it might walk and talk like a stout, but it drinks like a lager.

Dark body with thick lasting off white head. Malty aroma long lasting. Full malty taste, smooth and lasting. Deep finish. An excellent tmavy.

Bottle from Livonia Liquor. Pours a deep, chestnut brown with a small bit of beige head that dissipates. Light smoked malt notes with chocolate and faint tobacco notes. Balanced with some herbal hop notes on the finish. Leans dry, but still balanced.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear dark brown with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy roast and smooth dark grains with some bread coming through. Flavor has smooth dark grains and a light earthy roast with a bit of pumpernickel underlying.
