Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Tomislav
◎ Appearance
Deep mahogany to dark brown color with excellent clarity and a creamy, persistent tan head. The beer displays excellent head retention and fine carbonation that creates an inviting, full-bodied visual presentation characteristic of quality Czech dark lagers.
◌ Aroma
Inviting nose dominated by roasted dark malt and subtle caramel sweetness with hints of dark chocolate and dried fruit complexity. Clean yeast character with a slight bread-like maltiness supports the core roasted profile without any harsh or burnt notes.
◐ Taste
Rich, smooth entry with prominent dark malt and caramel flavors transitioning to dark chocolate and dried fruit notes in the mid-palate. The 7.3% ABV provides warming character and body without heat, while mild bitterness (25 IBU) remains well-integrated and balanced throughout.
◑ Finish
Full, warming finish with lingering dark malt and subtle chocolate notes that persist cleanly without astringency. The aftertaste remains dry yet slightly sweet, showcasing exceptional balance for this style.
