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.

Sampled from 0.5 l bottle from local 'trinkgut', best before October 2019. Clear, very dark ruby with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish, gently fruity and slightly artificial aroma of cherry juice and some dark chocolate. Rather sweet, a little sourish, gently fruity, moderately roasty and a little artificial taste of cherry juice, dark chocolate and some caramel, followed by a short, moderately bitter, minimally tart and a bit roasty finish. Medium body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Not that bad, just a little too artificial.
