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.

Bottle. This has a thin-looking coppery amber body and supports a minimal head. Aromas are kind of grainy with a touch of honey and caramel sweetness. Flavor is similar, but has a bit of booziness to it that lends a touch of astringency.
