Dovetail Brewery Czech-Style Dark Lager
Dovetail’s Czech Dark Lager is a masterful tribute to the storied traditions of Prague, capturing the soul of a medieval beer garden through meticulous triple-decoction and open-fermentation. The sensory profile is defined by a deep, layered malt presence where rich notes of toasted bread crust and caramel intertwine with nuances of milk chocolate and a whisper of roasted coffee. Noble Saaz hops provide a delicate, spicy counterpoint that balances the residual sweetness. The mouthfeel is exceptionally smooth and creamy, a result of soft "Heaven's water" mineral chemistry, finishing with a clean yet complex malt-forward character that invites another sip.
Appearance. Deep dark copper to nearly black with a distinct garnet tint when held to the light; brilliant clarity with a large, dense, persistent tan head that leaves elegant lacing.
Aroma. Medium-high intensity of rich, bready malt featuring deep bread crust, toast, and caramel; secondary notes of milk chocolate and subtle sweetened coffee are balanced by a low, spicy Saaz hop presence and a hint of dark plum esters.
Taste. Initial impression is dominated by complex Maillard products and a medium-high malt richness; flavors of toasted nuts, caramel, and chocolate lead into a very low, smooth coffee roast. A moderate bitterness from Saaz hops provides balance without sharpness. The finish is clean and lingering with a refined malt sweetness and faint spicy hop character.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a notable creaminess and smooth texture; moderate carbonation and a very slight, well-integrated alcohol warmth that enhances the cozy, rich character.

A malt showcase of chocolate, bread crust, caramel and subtle coffee roast; Saaz hops; and the Czech Republic’s “Heaven’s water.” As they did back then, Dovetail employed traditional brewing methods, including a triple-decoction and open-fermentation. It has rich, complex maltiness, that’s balanced by slight bitterness — this is a cozy version of the Dovetail Pilsner, and a memory of that afternoon in a medieval beer garden.
