Zvíkovský Stout 20°

◎ Appearance

Deep black-brown liquor with opaque clarity. The head is distinctly compact and ring-forming—a hallmark of Anglo-Saxon fermentation practice—with fine carbonation and strong adhesive lacing that clings to the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with roasted grain and dark chocolate, followed by subtle coffee notes that emerge from the malt base. British hop character is restrained and refined, allowing the deep grain complexity to dominate without sharp vegetal or citrus intrusion.

◐ Taste

Sweet entry with a full, velvety body that carries notes of dark fruit and cocoa through the mid-palate. The bitterness remains measured at 35 IBU, lending definition without harshness; a gentle warmth from the 10% ABV builds gradually without burning. The finish carries a light coffee note that frames the roasted grain character.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with a dry, coffee-tinged aftertaste. The sweetness recedes gracefully, leaving behind cocoa and roasted grain impressions without residual harshness.
