The premium dark lager has complemented Budweiser Budvar Brewery's traditional product range since 2004. It is brewed in the same way as the original pale lager, using first-class Saaz hops, Moravian malt, water drawn from 300-metre deep artesian wells and three types of special colour malted barley: Munich, caramel and roasted.
The beer is characterised by a distinctly dark colour and a dry and mildly bitter caramel flavour without any dominant sweetness.
