Our dark beer is hoppier than what is usual for this kind. Also, there is no additional sweetener. You can enjoy the composition of roasted malts with a pleasant bitterness. The Czech beer terminology doesn’t have the term “black beer”, that’s why we call ours Dark – Black. Based on the color analysis our beer falls in the Schwarzbier category, which is known all around the world.
