Matka

Matka is the Tmavé — dark Czech lager — produced by Shire Brewing (Porciano, Frosinone, Lazio): an almost forgotten style from the Czech Republic, a beer paradise still too little explored. 5% vol., in a 44cl can — to be served in a mug or glass between 6 and 8°C.

The Tmavé stands out for its combination of roundness of body and high drinkability — and Matka is an interpretation that gives ample space to special malts, bringing the drink to more caramelized than roasted tones. At the end of the sip, the typical Czech hops are felt, with their precise bitterness and hints of slightly spiced white flowers. Roasted, chocolatey, herbal.

It pairs well with lamb, beef stew, mushroom risotto, meat pie, oysters, creamy cheeses, and dark chocolate desserts.
