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.

Cerveza oscura de baja fermentación, de color negro, con espuma fina y densa de buena retención.Aroma suave a maltas tostadas, lo que predomina también en su sabor. El caracter tostado deja un gusto en la boca a café, con una correcta carbonatación. Su cuerpo es medio, con un ligero amargor final. Buena cerveza, ideal para acompañarla con salchichas alemanas.
