Czech Dark Lager·United States·5.3% ABV·One of 74 Czech Dark Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share pFriem Czech Dark Lager's caramel and roasted character. pFriem Czech Dark Lager honors tmavé pivo, the dark lager of Czech taverns. Floor-malted pilsner malt meets dark malts and a debittered roast malt, balanced by Perle, Saaz and Tettnang. It pours a burnt umber with ruby highlights under dense khaki foam. Toasted bread, toffee, dates and raisin rise from the glass. The palate is silky, with milk chocolate, caramel and a light anise spice, and the finish brings a gentle kiss of roast and toffee. It is brewed for the final months of the year.
