Podkrkonošský speciál tmavý
Roasted malt gives this dark special its aroma, followed by a bittersweet caramel taste that lingers long after the sip. Four kinds of malt go into the original recipe. The beer was first brewed as a Christmas surprise at the end of 2005. Its great and unexpected success brought it into the standard range, like its pale counterpart.
