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.

On tap at The Draft House Tower Bridge. Clear mid brown colour lasting cream head. Some biscuit flavour. Rather a good malty lager i thought. Decent. Not too cold. Ok.

Super Solid Schwartz. Love the style. Nice and roasted, plenty of malty sweetness, good body, pitch black, yet still nice and light.

500ml bottle: BBD 17th Oct 17. Bought in a REWE store in Monchengladbach and cooled on my hotel window ledge before opening on 2nd May 17. Clean and clear light Amber body, off-White head that tried to hang around. Caramel and toffee apple aromas and flavours give this a sweet malty molasses feel from start to finish. Simple brew with what seems ’a caramel syrup’ added to give it colour and sweetness. Liked it though!

Bottle. Dark brown color with white head. Aroma is chocolate, molasses, a bit earthy. Taste is watery, molasses, sweet chocolaty malts, a bit watery as well. Medium carbonation. Not excellent.
