Overview: This was the first of the beers on tap at Pivovarsky Klub, probably the wisest of choices to try first considering - more on that later. From what I can find out about this beer it used to be brewed at the Klub itself; however, now this is brewed at the Dum (the Klub’s sister brewery/pub), at least according to the tap label. The name comes from the Klub’s address in Prague. Unless someone can correct me on this, it appears that this is only served at Pivovarsky Klub.

The Beer: Krizikova 17°, 5.5% abv; darker tan in colour with a solid, frothy head; has a distinctly solid smell to it giving off a strong, roasted, malty smell; it certainly has a lot of body to it’s flavour, you get the stronger roastings in there, the flavour takes over the mouth and accompanies the bitterness; I didn’t find the bitterness too over powering and the aftertaste is string but not too unpleasant.

After Words: You certainly know you are drinking something with a full bodied character. Being someone who likes espresso coffee, usually deep roasted, this has an excellent taste to it. As as beer to start with I would say this is the better choice because it is all powerful in the taste department; if you follow this up with a lighter beer then you will still get the taste’s from the Krizikova ambushing the taste buds. Its an excellent beer, but this is probably one for someone who likes strength to the taste.
