On tap (@Jedovka, Praha): Chestnut-amber coloured, stable and lacy off-white head, light to moderate sweetish-caramelly nose with a worty and a bitter touch; light to moderate sweetish-bitter flavour, more light than medium bodied; gets drier towards the slightly lingering bitter-sweet finish. Friendly, uncomplicated Dunkel.....

On tap (@Jedovka, Praha): Deep golden, small white head with a solid lacework; clean pale-malty to grainy nose, backed by delicate aromatic hoppy traces and buttery aromas; light to moderate bitter-sweet flavour, malty base - that’s understood - detectable; dry finish, more bitter than hoppy, with a tinge of vanilla(!). Good, but not classy.....

500ml bottle. Dark reddish brown with a tight cm of light tan head. Mild aroma of toast, hazelnut oil with a touch of grass and snoke. Oily body. Cheap-chocolaty sweet with some sourness and mild roasted bitterness and a very light herbal/ grass hop note. A bit sweet for my tastes but has an elegant dry finish.

draught at Jedova Chyse. Deep brown colour, creamy beige head. Aroma of roasetd malts and caramel. Full-bodied, malty with flavours of roasetd malts, caramel and cocoa powder. Not as sweet as the normal Skalak tmavy. Well-balanced and chewy.

Draught @ U Valsu, Prague. Pours cloudy golden with a creamy white head and lacings. Nose is grassy and floral hops mainly. Flavor is very odd. Dusty, yeasty and old. Medium and smooth palate. Either too old or infected

500ml bottle. Lighter gold than some. Medium white head. There are floral hops in the nose, but mainly cereal and nutty malt. A little metallic and nutty, moderate finishing bitterness. Great creamy texture. Not the tastiest pilsener, but it has a lot going for it.

(Draught at Monk’s Café, Sveavägen, Stockholm) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty nose with hay, grassy hops and a touch of lemon. Malty, clean taste with notes of bread, hay and grassy hops. Dry and bitter finish. Medium body. Crisp and fresh beer with a dry, hoppy bitterness. Enjoyable.
