Nachmelená Opice Irish Stout 12%

Tap to rate

A dark, top-fermented stout in the Irish style. A range of dark malts and above all roasted barley give it caramel, chocolate and coffee with a burnt edge, all carried by a gentle bitterness. The grist combines Pilsner malt, oat flakes, Carafa I, Crystal 150, roasted barley and chocolate wheat malt, and Fuggles supplies the hops.

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink within a year. Standard stouts are best fresh but hold reasonably well for 6–12 months.
