Czechvar in North America.
The premium dark lager has complemented Budweiser Budvar Brewery’s traditional product range. It is brewed in the same way as the premium pale lager, using first-class Saaz hops, Moravian malt, water drawn from 300-metre deep artesian wells and three types of special colour malted barley: Munich, caramel and roasted.
The beer is characterised by a distinctly dark colour, a dry and mildly bitter caramel flavour without any dominant sweetness and a delicious aroma of roasted malt.
Prémiový tmavý ležák doplňuje tradiční nabídku piva z pivovaru Budějovický Budvar, n. p. od roku 2004. Je vyroben stejným postupem jako originální světlý ležák, za použití nejvybranějšího žateckého chmele, moravského sladu, vody čerpané ze 300 m hlubokých artéských studní a tří druhů speciálních barevných ječných sladů: mnichovského, karamelového a praženého.
Charakterizuje jej výrazně tmavá barva, suchá, jemně hořká karamelová chuť bez dominance sladkosti. Vůně je delikátní po praženém sladu.

330 ml bottle into lager glass, best before 4/13/2016. Pours crystal clear very dark brown color with a 1 finger dense and fluffy light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, brown sugar, toasted dark bread, herbal, wood, grass, light smoke/nuts, and roast/toasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of roast/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, brown sugar, toasted dark bread, herbal, wood, grass, light smoke/nuts, and roast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/spicy hop and roast bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, brown sugar, toasted dark bread, herbal, wood, grass, smoke, nuts, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of roast/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great hop/roasted bitter/sweet balance, and zero acrid/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from hop/roast bitterness. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with zero yeast notes present. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy, and fairly sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.7%. Overall this is a delicious schwarzbier! All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of roast/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink with the balanced bitter/drying finish. Amazingly flavorful with great balanced malt complexity for the low ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

Butelka. Idealnie klarowne, ciemnorubinowe. Piana drobnopęcherzykowa, prawie kremowa, zostawia bardzo fajne ślady na szkle. W aromacie na pierwszym planie wcale nie karmel. Kawa zbożowa, przypieczona skórka chleba, dopiero w tle karmel. W smaku lekko kwaskowe, z delikatnie zaznaczoną goryczką. Wysycenie wysokie, co trochę przeszkadza w odbiorze. Ogólnie przyjemne zaskoczenie.

0,5 l can. Pours dark reddish brown with big frothy lasting tan head. Aroma of malt, light roast tones, some caramel, bread, malt with some floral hop notes. Light sweet, light bitter. Body is quite light, texture slick, carbonation average, finish is quite dry. Nothing wrong with it, drinkable, but that’s it.

This dark lager poured a deep black colour with a beautiful tan head. Unfortunately, green bottles, far off land and fluorescent lighting at the lcbo equal skunk. Minimal lacing. Scents include coffee, molasses and dark toast. First swig was a little thin but had nice roasted flavour. Expected a nice creamy mouthfeel. Pretty good nonetheless. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

A colablack beer, a head is quite big and beige. Aroma has sweetness of syrup, also balancing roastiness. Taste has maltyness, some roastiness, luckily only decent sweetness. Almost medium bodied, quite smooth. Quite balanced and not too sweet beer.

Pours a dark brown colour with copper and ruby highlights. Nice creamy beige head, long lasting with some creamy lacing. Roasted malt aromas with lots of molasses coming out. Hints of nuts, coffee and chocolate. The taste is milder with some dark grain notes, but overall watered-down with very light dark fruits. Some coffee tart. Overall refreshing dark brew.
