Kávové pivo

Tap to rate

A dark lager from four Czech malts, whose black colour comes from roasted colouring malt. The roasted tones recall coffee and bitter chocolate, caramel malt adds fullness and caramel aroma, and the bitterness is gentler. A coffee maceration from France underlines the coffee note, so the beer calls iced coffee to mind, and it ferments in traditional open vats.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Kávové pivo

◎ Appearance

Deep brown to near-black in color, revealing a dense, opaque body that suggests careful roasting and substantial malt composition. The head forms with restrained carbonation, laying down a thin layer of cream-colored foam with moderate retention and fine lacing along the glass. Clarity is absent by design—the traditional open-vat fermentation contributes to a soft, natural haziness.

◌ Aroma

Roasted and coffee-forward character dominates the nose, underpinned by bitter chocolate and subtle caramel sweetness from the four Czech malts. The French coffee maceration lends a pronounced espresso quality—dry, dark, and slightly cocoa-dusted. Beneath these roasted tones lies a gentle maltiness that prevents the nose from becoming austere or acrid.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with full-bodied roasted character and robust coffee notes that recall iced coffee, smoothed by caramel malt richness and a velvety mouthfeel. Bitterness emerges cleanly but restrained (22 IBU), balancing the darker notes without dominating. The finish transitions through chocolate undertones before settling into a dry, malty conclusion.
