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.

[March 2022] Lovely looking schwarzbier, pours a deep dark brown, near black with a frothy/creamy beige head and a lush roasted malt, chocolate and fruit aroma. Malty and fruity, cake-like, with a touch of bitterness

500ml bottle. Pitch black pour with a small lasting beige head. Aroma of caramel malts, chocolate, light roast. Taste is the same, slightly sweet and plenty of caramel malt, chocolate, light roast, hints of dark fruits, and a light bitter finish. Lovely example of the style.

Clear golden.Aroma is noble hops some herbal grassy notes overall beer flavour. Taste is herbal grass with not much malty sweetness, also some butter notes. Pretty rough and with some of the weird lager flavours. Ok.

For what it is and where it is, always a drinkable option. Dark smooth and malty.
