Platan Kouřový ležák

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to copper hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that forms distinct lacing on the glass. The carbonation is moderate and even, typical of a well-crafted lager. Light catches the liquid with warm, translucent tones.

◌ Aroma

Smoked malt dominates the nose with a gentle, almost woody character that avoids harshness. Beneath lies a subtle sweetness from Moravian malts and a delicate herbal note from Czech hops. The overall impression is balanced and inviting rather than aggressive.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a full, malty body complemented by the distinctive smoky character that carries through the mid-palate. A pleasant bitterness emerges at 22 IBU, providing structure without overwhelming the smoke-malt interplay. The finish is clean and crisp, with the smoke lingering in the aftertaste.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with the smoke and subtle bitterness fading gradually, leaving a dry, refreshing quality. The aftertaste remains smooth and slightly malty without any harsh edges.
