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.

Many thanks to Beerhunter111! Smooth sweetish beginning. Easy to drink, sweetish with a nice natural lime aroma over a smooth beery body. Soft, grainy rich, intense beery and sticky lime in the end.

Thuis uit een flesje (0,33). Schwarz inderdaad, lichtbruin schuim. Geur en smaak niet heel krachtig. Wel een lekkere nasmaak, licht bitter. Gezien het percentage een lekker bier.

Cola, a pinch of salt and licorice in the aroma and flavor. Sweet, there is hardly a trace of schwarzbier. Maybe a hint of bitterness in the aftertaste. Cola with just a little extra, I’d say.

Slight malty and flowery aroma. Also some flowers in the flavor, with an upcoming hopbitterness, that lingers on in the aftertaste. Also a light maltiness. Tasty beer, just above the average in its type.

Bottle. Golden color. Bready, slightly floral, soapy aroma. Medium to full bodied. Malty bready floral flavor, flowing into a lengthy floral hopbitter finish. Not bad.

Bottle. Deep golden color. Citrus, ripe mango and lychee in the aroma. Very fruity, grassy hopbitter flavor. Almost woody and chewy. Slightly herbal. Quite likeable.
