Bakalář desítka tmavá

◎ Appearance

Deep chestnut brown with a opaque clarity, characteristic of a traditional Czech dark lager. A modest tan head forms and persists with moderate cling to the glass. Fine carbonation creates a gentle, steady stream of bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced roasted grain and toasted malt character, evoking bread crust and dark chocolate. Beneath lies a subtle hop presence from Žatec varieties, adding herbal and mineral undertones. A clean fermentation profile allows the malt and hops to integrate without yeast-driven esters.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied on entry with deep malt sweetness and roasted grain flavors that develop across the mid-palate. A pronounced bitterness emerges, balancing the malty backbone and lending structure without harshness. Dark fruit notes—plum and raisin—weave through the finish, while the clean fermentation keeps the beer crisp and drinkable despite its depth.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is lingering and dry, with roasted and hoppy notes persisting pleasantly. The beer fades gracefully, leaving a smooth, malty impression without astringency.
