Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized off-white head, leaves some lace. Big malty and buttery nose, along with metallic hints as well as alcohol. Flavour is grass, butter, caramel and some toffee also. A bit plastic and alcoholic also. Some bitterness in finish.

Bottled (BB 11/2007)
Amber color, decent creamy off-white head. Stale, grassy, buttery nose. Some notes of wood (oak) too and a bit of unbalanced metallic hints. Sweetish, grassy-woody hoppy flavor - quite typical strong Bohemian pils as well it has typical buttery notes of the style. These a bit high alcohol Czech pils are usually too sweet and a bit unbalanced, this is no exception. Grassy aftertaste with hints of rubber.

Draught at Soldaten Svejk, Stockholm. Almost black, firm beige head. Arome of spun sugar. Sweet and lightly roasty with some dextrose. Full bodied as far as Czech beers go and with rounded mouthfeel. Short finish with more sugar. I have not been convinced withe the beers from one of my former favourite breweries since they changed their name from Korbel. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Skalák Světlý Speciál 13° on 26 Mar 2002 at 08:10 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5.

[Draught at Soldaten Svejk, Stockholm as Skalák Premium] Deep golden, rocky head. Papery aroma with some apples thrown in. Medium sweet with pleasantly soft mouthfeel. Swimming in sugary water there is a whiff of butterscotch. Near no bitterness. Not at all what I was expecting, much less hoping for.
