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.

Bottle at home. Aroma of malt, grain, bread, a hint of fruits, some caramel, earthy herbal hops. Flavour is light sweet with a moderate bitter finish. Body is medium. Not the most outspoken Kellerbier, but not bad at all.

Среднее по качеству пива с легким ароматом корицы. Но все же слишком пустое в послевкусие. Очень плохо пениться. Не советую, с этим немцем что то ни так.

Вполне неплохое темное немецкое пиво. Аромат сильно жженый с привкусом хлеба. Цвет очень темный, пена практически отсутствует. Во вкусе ощущается жженый карамель с черным хлебом. Послевкусие идет плавно с легкой кислинкой.
