Pivovary Vratislavice - Konrad Tmavy Lezak

The dark brother of Svetly which I have been meaning to blog on this for a while. With an ultimatum delivered from the wife to clear out my beer before a re-stock on friday it seems a good as time as any to get this one out the way. Normally this is one of my beer free days, yep days as in more than one, but if someone insists then it is as good an excuse as any for a beer, eh ?

Light waft of roasted malt and caramel on the pour.

Tmavy Lezak pour a very dark brown/ruby red tinge with an off-white to beige creamy head with good retention and lacing all the way down. A light sweetness on the intake with light roasted malt, caramel, burnt toast and nuts. The finish is dry and mildly bitter. Pepper and burnt toast again in the short aftertaste. Mouthfeel is light and watery though not too watery.

Though a dark lager it is not too far off a vienna, blindfolded I'd probably say it was. Considering the price of this when bought this is actually quite decent and light enough to session on though there is no wow factor. It is what it is, nothing special but a notch up from average for a Czech dunkel with high drinkability. No problems here with buying or drinking another. My only gripe would be the the tad watery mouthfeel.

This scored 4/10 on the 'if I see another german organic this week I'm going to..' Beerometer.

Alc : 4.4%
