Description
In 1564 for the first time a brewery is mentioned in Svijany. In the following years the brewery was owned by different families. In 1912 it was bought by brewer Antonín Kratochvíle. The Kratochvíle family operated the brewery till 1939. After the war the brewery was confiscated and later nationalized. in 1990 the state enterprise Vratislavice nad Nisou was created, which included Svijany Brewery. In 1998 the company Pivovar Svijany was created, which became the new owner of the brewery. In 2005, it was transformed into a joint-stock company. Gradually Svijany became the strongest regional brand with national importance. The popularity of the brewery is increasing and it is gradually being developed into one of the largest independent breweries in the Czech Republic.
Svijany Brewery is wholly Czech owned and remains one of the last in ‚domestic‘ hands.

Huge thanks to quack-duck for that bottle! Looks really, really good. Beer in the glass deep golden, nice head. Fresh malty spicy aroma. Starts fine malty, spicy, light alcoholic, but not too intense. Fresh fruity notes, herbal hints as well. Well balanced finish. Quite drinkable for its strength. Nice one!

Poured on mug, can't tell the exact colour, but i'd guess dark brown. Quite big greyish/brownish head, excellent retention and lacing. Average intensity in a delicate aroma: mild roasted malts with light coffee grain notes and a dusty hint, hints of chocolate, a bit of underlying caramel sweetness, the lightest fruity hints (dark/dried fruits). Taste notes more or less follow the aroma, maybe lacking the fruitiness. Balanced in the mouth with a quite dry, relatively bitter finish and aftertaste. Relatively cause both sweetness and bitterness are actually mild, but in the overall balance there's some firmness to that dry finish. Light to medium bodied with very light, soft carbonation, resulting in a very easy but decently soft mouthfeel. A well made and enjoyable tmavy.

0,75l swing-top-bottle from beerdome.cz. Deep golden colour, mid-sized white head. Sweet, pleasant malty nose. Full-bodied, intensive malt flavours, slightly buttery (shortbread?), pleasant hopy with a touch of hay and citrus fruit. Smooth and velvety.
