Podkrkonošský speciál tmavý

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber-brown with a warm mahogany glow, clarity is good with minimal haze. A firm tan head forms on the pour and clings to the glass with moderate persistence, leaving delicate lacing on each sip.

◌ Aroma

Roasted malt dominates the nose with toasted grain and subtle chocolate undertones. A soft caramel sweetness emerges in the mid-notes, while gentle alcohol warmth rounds out the bouquet without harshness.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with bittersweet caramel and toasted malt depth, the four-malt bill creating rich, layered complexity. Moderate bitterness (25 IBU) balances the sweetness without dominance, and the mouthfeel is smooth and full-bodied, with the 6.3% ABV providing gentle warmth rather than heat.

◑ Abgang

The caramel character lingers pleasantly into the finish, fading slowly with a dry, toasted-grain undertone. A mild peppery warmth persists, leaving the palate satisfied without excessive alcohol burn.
