hopIQ found 10 beers with the same malty and caramel character as Tmavý Ležák 12º. The dark end of Godspeed's Czech line at 4.7 percent. Decoction mashing does the work here: boiling part of the mash draws out melanoidins, which is where the bread-crust and caramel depth of a Czech dark lager comes from — not from added sweetness. Long cold maturation and natural carbonation follow. The brewery frames the beer as an early step on a longer road, written when it was still sourcing Czech raw materials and studying the brewing philosophy behind the style. The 12º is original gravity. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
