Discover the unique charm of Kozel Dark Beer, presented in a convenient 500ml bottle, and experience a lighter side of dark lager. Hailing from the historic Velké Popovice brewery in the Czech Republic, Kozel (meaning 'goat' in Czech) has been upholding centuries of Bohemian brewing tradition since 1874. This exceptional dark lager, at a sessionable 3.8% ABV, defies expectations, offering a rich flavour profile without being heavy or overly robust.
Kozel Dark pours a beautiful, deep ruby-brown with a persistent, creamy tan head, inviting you to explore its enticing aroma of roasted malt, caramel, and a hint of dark fruit. On the palate, it delivers a wonderfully smooth and surprisingly refreshing taste. Notes of sweet caramel, toasted bread, and subtle coffee intermingle gracefully, balanced by a gentle, underlying bitterness. Its light body and easy-drinking nature make it a versatile choice, perfect for enjoying on its own, with a meal, or even as a unique alternative to lighter lagers. Whether you're unwinding after a long day, sharing with friends, or simply seeking a satisfying yet approachable dark beer during the cooler New Zealand winter months, Kozel Dark offers a genuine taste of Czech brewing heritage and delightful character.
