I had this beer (dark) on tap in Prague back in the summer of 1995 and it has been by far the best beer I have ever had. I've had plenty of licensed Kozel beers made in Russia, while good, nothing close to the tap.

I traveled to Prague and this czech beer was the best I ever had, the malty carmel flavor was the best - my friend who does not like beer loved it also.

Adding to my last comment, the local tap beer is a med-dark amber and not nearly as good from bottle, even when purchased in CZ. Another CZ killer is called Krusovice(sp). It is more blonde than velko, but also has a smooth creamy weight/body that I haven't experienced outside of CZ.

I absolutely agree with Marc. I lived in Prague for 6 months and travelled (and drank beer) all over Europe. Velko, on tap, is the BEST beer I have ever had. It is reason alone to travel to Prague.

I don't think that it is as tasty as Pilsner Urquel or Czechvar(Budweiser Czech in Ontario, Canada but not too bad. There are manygerman lagers that are as good if not better at least here in Canada. I have not tasted or even seen the dark one yet. cheers

One of the best beers ever tasted. The dark one is legendary as well(although I prefer the blonde).But - huge difference between a nice fresh one in U Cerneho Vola,Prague (man, I can't stop drinking there :) and the bottled one.The latter is never as good as the draft.Good substitute, however.

A great beer (my second favourite in czech republic afterplzensky prazdroj) and especially to drink in 'U Cerného Vola'where you can drink it in a lovely atmosphere! When you meetthere some czech locals have a nice conversation but don't mix it to much with Fernet Stock!

Available from George's in Canberra Australia... smell of'bread' wofts up your nose on that first crack of the cap(I think that's typically Czech) and then the beer itself issmoooooth. Good value in the 0.5L bottle, costs not muchmore than you'd expect to pay in Australia for a stubby(330mL-375mL) of import beer. Side-by-side with the otherimports this stuff kicks. If the 'hefe hangovers' start toget you down, V.Kozel just might be right the medicine...
