Description
The more than 725-year-old beer tradition in Litovel dates back to 1291, when King Wenceslas II granted the city the mile right. This privilege allowed only the Litovel burghers to brew and tap beer within a radius of one medieval mile, i.e. in a vicinity of approximately seven kilometres. In the Middle Ages, beer was brewed in a brewing house, which was then located at Litovel 57. Those with brewing rights were among the most affluent people, and played a significant role in managing the city. Even contemporary Litovel beer is brewed using classic processes, the roots of which date back to this glorious historical era.

0,5 l. bottle. Almost black colour with a short-lived off-white head, some deep red hues in the bottom the glass. Roasted, milk chocolate and caramel malts in the aroma. Taste is light sweet with notes of chocolate and coffee with milk. Medium body with a soft texture. Soft carbonated with a short sweet and roasted finish. Nice and drinkable beer, but lacks a bit when it comes to a roasted bitterness as the good schwartzbiers.

500ml bottle. Black with shining through red spot, frothy off-white head. Rudimental sweet and roasty malt aroma. Slightly too sweet dark malt taste in relation to its light to medium body. Minimal bitter counterpart. No development nor alternation in taste.

Re-rating 27.6.2015: Drunk from can. Smell of roasted malt. Aroma of roasted malt, some plastic. Finishes with a faint of sugar. Very lively carbon, rather light body. Very sweet. Works quite nicely.
