Description
As the “Köstritzer Erbschenke” the Köstritzer black beer brewery is first mentioned in 1543, making it one of the oldest breweries in Germany. In 1948, the brewery became a "Volkseigener Betrieb" after the state of Thuringia had expropriated it. In 1991 the Köstritzer Schwarzbierbrauerei became part of the Bitburger Group and within a few years it has grown into one of the most modern and largest breweries in Thuringia.

8-5-7-4-14 Bottle, half a year after bbd. Pours dark, opaque brown, with a big creamy off white head slowly receding. Aroma is dark roasted malts with notes of burned wood, bread, burned sugar and notes of dark chocolate, as well as some nice subtle, balancing hops in the back. Full, velvety body, with soft carbonation. Flavour is roasted malts with dark bread, burned sugar and notes of coffee. Nice, quaffable and very food friendly!

Vom Fass 2015-04 getrunken. Dieses Schwarzbier ist ein unkomplizierter Durstlöscher. Leider fehlt es ihm an Charakter und Körper damit wirklich Spaß im Glas aufkommen kann.

Pours black with tracing carbonation and a huge tan head. Aroma of Pilsen malt, herbal notes. Taste has heavy dunkle notes, mild oily feel on the tongue, toasted malt. Palate has lingering, and pervasive, smoked notes on the nose, oily herbal notes. Good. #1000!

Black-reddish color and a nice off-white head. Restrained nose, cherry. Really surpriesed, not as sweet as expected. Taste is decent malty, cherry-fruity and slightly hoppy.

In de tuin uit een halve liter fles. Gele kleur, troebel, vlokken. Fris van smaak, door het warme weer aangenaam. Wat meer citrus dan in andere Duitse weizenbieren.

Ocena na podstawie notatek. 2018. Barwa ciemno brunatna. Piana beżowa, dość szybko opada ale nie znika do zera. W aromacie czuć lekką nutę słodów palonych. W smaku pełne, lekka palność.

Bottle, many thanks Beerhunter111! Hazy orange color with white head. Aroma is lemonade, quite fresh, some mild yeasty Kellerbier flavours. Taste is lots of lemonade, some mild beer flavours, smooth silky mouthfeel with soft carbonation.

Bottle. Milky amber, low offwhite head. Milky lime, sweet sticky body, a hint bitterness, otherwise just a decent lemonade.
