The ATF Czech Dark Lager is a rich malty beer with smooth coffee and chocolate aromas that blend beautifully with the earthy, herbal, and floral notes of the Saaz hops.
The flavour profile is a captivating blend of rich bready malt, roast coffee and chocolate, dark caramel, and dark fruit tones balanced by a smooth bitterness. Clean and crisp with a slightly creamy mouthfeel, the ATF Czech Dark Lager is a moreish beer.
