Description
The first written records of the brewery in Protivín date back to 1540. In 1711, it became the property of the Schwarzenberg noble family, where it remained for more than two hundred years. During the Schwarzenberg era, a beautiful brewhouse with copper boilers was built, including an atypical wort pan in the shape of a square, where beer is still brewed to this day. South Bohemian water from its own wells, traditional way of brewing and skills of South Bohemia are for decades the basis of beer brewed here, known under the brand Platan.

In 2008 the brewery became part of the Pivovary Lobkowicz Group.

looks perfect, dark colour with huge head. Flavours of malt, roasted malt and caramel, combined with a hoppy bitterness in the background. Lovely Dunkel!

Bottle: Deep golden coloured, thin foamy, stable layer; robust sweet malty, caramelly, slightly alcoholic nose with hints of herbal hops; distinctive sweet flavour, medium to full bodied; almost fruity, honeyish finish with a delicate sweet-bitter aftertaste. Onedimensional, but quite well hidden alcohol, warming and quite well rounded...............

Bottle: Clear, golden coloured, small but stable white foam; sweet-grainy, a bit cardboardy nose, distinctive touch of aromatic hops; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied; sweet-malt accented finish with a good dash of hops in the aftertaste. A decent Jedenactka, but nothing more........

Das Bier macht vor allem mit seinem extrem komischen und unbeschreiblichen Beigeschmack auf sich aufmerksam. Gelungen ist lediglich der leicht röstmalzerne Abgang. Test vom 13.8.2006, Gebinde: Fass Noten: 9,4,6,7,-,7 - 6,57
