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.

Bottle from Rewe City in Leipzig, drunk a few hundred meters away. Light black color, moderate head, dry roast nose with coffee and malt overtones. Slender body, good drinkability, nice smooth earthy bitterness with tasty roasted malt aftertaste. Very sessionable for a dark beer.

500ml bottle at home. Pours a cola-like blackish brown with a thin off white head. Nose is nutty, very reminiscent of a brown ale...some brown bread and an overall malt sweetness, no hops in the aroma at all. Flavour is malt forward, nutty, caramel, some slight coffee notes, with a sticky oily finish.

Pours black or almost so, with a quite big but quickly receding greyish head. Not much retention. Not much intensity in a relatively simple and clean aroma: bark bread/bread crust, slight coffee grains hints, some underlying cola-like sweetness and a touch of fruitiness. Taste notes follow the aroma, again with not much intensity. There's more sweetness than style average with a rather strong cola-like softness/sweetness, probably a bit too dominant. Finish and aftertaste are still rather dry and bitter though. Overall, not so distant from a dunkel. Quite light bodied with light to medium carbonation, quite easygoing. Ok, not remarkable.
