Staropramen Dark

◎ Aussehen

Deep chestnut brown with a slight reddish undertone, translucent and well-defined. A dense, tan head forms readily and clings to the glass with firm retention. Carbonation is moderate and steady, producing fine bubbles that rise with deliberate pace.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft caramel and light toasted malt, followed by subtle notes of dark bread crust. Noble hop character emerges quietly beneath, offering a restrained floral and herbal undertone. No sharp alcohol or yeast phenolics intrude; the overall impression is clean and inviting.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is full and velvety on the palate, with pronounced caramel sweetness balanced by gentle, lingering bitterness. Mid-palate reveals depth from dark malt—hints of cocoa and bread—before a restrained hop bitterness emerges. The finish settles into a harmonious interplay of sweet malt and mild spice, never sharp or assertive.

◑ Abgang

Medium in length with a warm, slightly dry conclusion. The aftertaste lingers pleasantly with malt-forward echoes and a whisper of hop resin.
