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.

Bottle bought at a getränkemarkt near Leipzig. The bottle looks good, as well as the beer in the glass. Starts mild, sweet-malty, notes of caramel and some chocolate. Finish soft-malty. Quite drinkable. Good beer!

Bottle bought at a getränkemarkt near Leipzig. The bottle looks simple, but good, the beer in the glass also. Nice head. Starts malty-moldy, a bit grasy-soapy. Finish shows also some spicy notes, still grasy. Quite drinkable. Nice beer!

Draught at Vltava, Helsinki. Poured an extremely dark red body, almost black with a thick tan head. Sweet creamy nose, raisins. The taste is sweet as well, light raisins again, cranberries maybe or some aspect of their taste anyway, maybe bubblegum. It does sound fruitier in this rate than it is, but it’s just another Czech dunkel. Nice and light, the only "bad" thing being some cardboard somewhere in there, that I might as well have imagined.
