Merlin is an exceptional lager that can be recognized by its truly dark color. The brewery brews according to a special recipe, during which three types of malt, crystal clear water from a deep lake, high quality hops and roasted barley are used. The result is a magical combination of flavors with a distinct bitterness reminiscent of stout, which every true beer connoisseur can appreciate.

Pours near black with beige head. Big roasty toasty vibes, light burnt malts, coffee, mild liquorice. Towards a dry stout in character. Medium body with foamy carbonation. Delicious

Keg at the pub in Prague. A wholesome, easy guzzling dark beer that suited the cold autumnal weather. Blecck. (6/11/24).

A bit of a sweeter ale-like dark beer. Clean, but I would like a bit more crisp. Madcat prague
