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.

Dark brown with a big frothy tan head and brown sugar and floral notes on the nose. Moderately fizzy, some roasted malt, some coffee and sweet chocolate, grassy hop bitterness and a dry bitter finish.

Il gusto al naso resta attratto dall'orzo tostato. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore color beige è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore del liquido è ebano. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è medio in buona armonia con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di caramello, miele, biscotto, cioccolato, caffè, liquirizia, frutta secca e agrumi.

Poured from 500mL can (from Liquor Mart Burnaby 6th St). Very dark brown with full beige head. Light dark roast and dark sugars, quite basic, not a lot of depth, hint of metallic notes. Average.

Tasting it again, yesterday, at home, at midday, preparing the food for the children. A promotion in the denner, happy to find a beer like thay, in Switzerland but it won't be for a long time, smooth and a bit roasty, touch of sweetness, bitter, 05.10.24
