About
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.

Fles meegebracht van vakantie en thuis gedronken. Oranje tot amberkleurig bier met stevige witte schuimkraag. De geur is licht bitter evenals de smaak. De smaak heeft iets weg van pils. De bittere smaak ebt langzaam weg.

Szép nagy, tömör és tartós, tejeskávé színű habja van. Kicsit barnás, fekete színű. Illata feketekávés, kissé savanykás, fűszeres. Íze kávés, picit savanykás, enyhe komlós fűszeresség. Csak halványan kesernyés. Utóíze kesernyés, egy picit savanykás, és nem túl hosszú. Nem túl markáns ízvilágú sör. Közepesen telt. Könnyen csúszik, jó szomjoltó. Nem egy világklasszis, de korrekt sör.

$1.90 Wine Warehouse, Charlottesville. Pours very very dark brown, almost black, with a large frothy beige head. Aroma is very light but inoffensive. Taste is a refreshing, slightly sweet raisin, light coffee, oatmeal blend. Finishes slightly sweet... this is totally drinkable, and I’d be happy drinking this all night, but it’s not a knockout.

Dark black with a little bronze touch and minimal brown head. Aroma is much roast licorice (not aggressive) and dark chocoloate. Taste is well rounded bitterness, but an awkward sourness on top. Mouthfeel is just a tiny bit frothy.Medium finish, full body. Overall nice. Could be somewhat smoother though.

Pours light copper from the bottle. Aroma is not the best, some caramel malt to be sure but also something in the direction of basement aromas. The optic is better, a long lasting crown nicely complements the amber body, although the beer seems remarkably clear for something the bottle claims is unfiltered. The taste is mild and unremarkable - hints of caramel and toffee, and a light hops bitterness in the taste. The body is light to medium. OK.
5.1
Rerate: 09/2019 Better aroma than previously. Caramel with no basement aromas. Taste much the same but under-hopped for the style. Drinkable. 6.0

Ambar anaranjada. Dos dedos de espuma. Aroma a lupulos. Resinosa. Mantiene en boca, bien lupulada, de amargor moderado. Resina, pino, notas de fruta tropical. Sabrosa, de cierto equilibrio y muy bebible.
