Kaštanové pivo is the Christmas special of U Medvídků, a lager brewed in the house microbrewery especially for the festive season.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced nutty notes from roasted chestnut, complemented by warm spice—cinnamon and clove—that evoke the festive season. Beneath these lies a gentle malt sweetness with subtle caramel undertones, while the overall character remains clean and inviting without harsh phenolic edges.

◐ Taste

On the palate, nutty chestnut flavour dominates from entry through the mid-palate, supported by a smooth, malty body with hints of caramel complexity. The spice profile (cinnamon, nutmeg) unfolds gradually without harshness, while modest bitterness (28 IBU) provides balance without overshadowing the adjunct character. The finish is dry and clean, allowing the spice to linger pleasantly.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is medium-length, with residual nuttiness and spice gradually fading into a dry, slightly astringent close. The overall impression is warming and satisfying, leaving the drinker with a sense of seasonal comfort.
