Corgoň Tmavé 11.5%
Pivovar Corgoň (Heineken Slovensko)

Had this beer during my holiday in Slovakia. Poured into a Kelt pint glass. The beer pours a nice, dark-brown color with a very long lasting, light-brown creamy head.

Smell: very weak, some bread (yeast) and hints of sweet caramel.

Taste: As almost all euro dark lager, much better than the smell. Most beers from this brew-type are mainly sweet in the pellet. This one seems a bit more complex. The taste is sweet (dark fruits and caramel), but also it also has a well hidden salty taste (liquorish). Some hints of coffee and a nice (relatively long lasting for the brew type) bitterness from roasted malts in a surprisingly dry aftertaste. This beer has a nice balance between sweetness and bitterness.

Mouthfeel: Medium-low carbonation, smooth, creamy and very easy to drink.

Overall: A nice euro dark lager, less sweet and more dry than the other ones from this brew-type. A decent beer with, again, artificial sweeteners....
