Since April 1991, the Köstritzer black beer brewery, a subsidiary of the Bitburger brewery, has emerged as of one of the most modern breweries in Thuringia. In September 1993, it was with great pride we (re-) introduced the "original Köstritzer black beer".

3.8 Bottle in Munich. Pours almost black with average head that recedes to the rim. Nose from the bottle of dark roast malts, brown sugar, dark fruit. Nose from glass reveals dark bread and more maltiness. Deep toasty flavor, chocolate, biscuit and mild sweetness balanced with a mild bitter finish. A bit watery, but well refined and balanced. Low ABV of 4.8%. Nice 👍
3.0 Bottle in Germany. Deep dark-brown pour with creamy beige head, retaining quite well. Aroma is rather faint, not much more than roast malts. Taste also soft; mild sweet & bitter, bit caramel. Light feel. Nothing special.
3.1 Bière noire à reflets rouges et avec une belle mousse fine, compacte et persistante de couleur crème. Le grillé est léger: je m'attendais à quelque chose de plus franc.
3.0 Black with nice creamy yellowish head. Nice lacing. Burned caramel sour grain in the mild aroma. Low taste, sweet salty caramel hint of liqurish. Strong burned aftertaste. A bit watery
3.4 Aromat palonych słodów, trochę karmelu. W smaku karmel, ciemny chleb i gorzka czekolada. Przyjemne
4.0 Good, would get again.
3.7 dark brown-almost black color; roasted malt aroma; nice smooth, dry, dark roasted malt flavor with light coffee and cocoa notes; medium bodied
3.3 A black beer that is very light in flavour, slightly malty. Another mixed case beer, worth a try.
3.2 Three fingers of head dark brown color. For a black lager this is good. Flavors are typical dark fruits with some chocolate and coffee. Decent beer.
3.3 0,5 l can. Nearly black in the glass, reddish edges, two finger beige head. Sweet malty on the nose, little bit roasty. Taste ist more on the roasty side, less sweetness, grainy, some bitter hop. Below average carbonated. Nice stuff.
3.7 Taste and aroma of roasty malt, hops and yeast. A little bitter. Follow me @ Kung av öl @ Facebook and Instagram for more pictures and ratings.
3.2 500 ml Flasche Schaum feinporig relativ konstant Geruch: wenig Aussagekraft Farbe: dunkel fast schwarz Geschmack:röstaromen leicht Bitterschokoladig süffig
3.5 Tight light brown head stayed on a still black body. Malt, tobacco & liquorice aroma. Medium bodied, creamy on the tongue with a tingle on the back. Malt, liquorice, caramel & toffee tastes with a bitter peppered finish. Excellent.
3.5 Appearance- nearly black, with a small beige head. Aroma is chocolate, dark malt, bready malt, sugary dark fruit hints. Taste is dark malt, raisiny hints, fruitcake, malty brown bread, biscuity malt, hint of caramel.
2.6 Aroma of sweet roasted malts. Dark red brown color with a fluffy tan head. Sweet roasted malt up front. Some chocolate and candied fruit. Mild dark chocolate bitterness. Slick mouthfeel. Finish is dark chocolate. Average.
3.4 It pours a slightly brownish black with a medium sized tan head. It has the aroma of cocoa & coffee. I taste dark chocolate, coffee & toffee. The body is thin making it very drinkable and refreshing. I do really like this beer.
3.6 Bottle at home 21st December 2021. Pours a dark chestnut brown, almost black. Aroma is roasted malts, yeast and caramel. Taste is roasted malts, cocoa, caramel, light and drinkable
3.3 From 11.2 ounce bottle bought at The Party Source, tasted on October 14, 2021. Dark brown color, nice complex malty aroma, light body, good malty taste slightly compromised by a light chemical note. Not bad.
3.4 Smooth roasted malt aroma, taste of berries and dark fruits. Good beer overall.
2.9 Bière bue à Trèves face au marché de Noël. Commandée un 0eu 0ar dépit car il n'y avait que des pils mais finalement correcte. Une Lager avec de légères notes toastées, tout à fait buvable.
3.0 购于绿地超市 国内在售还挺丰富 有玻璃瓶 也有大号小号易拉罐的 德国 拉格 黑啤 这三个标签加起来 想也知道 是挺中规中矩的一款硬朗黑啤 听说歌德靠它养病恢复健康 果然是液体面包
3.4 Aroma is dark malt, syrup, rye Dark colour with small head Taste is dark malt, dark syrup, dark bread and dates Low carbonation with thin mouthfeel Nice Tasted in beder
2.3 Pretty aromatic of roasted malts.....taste is roasted malt and that's it...zero complexity, lighter mouthfeel... cerealy...Very dry... couldn't be more one dimensional and boring.....🤷 Had at home morning after hanging at WECO beer garden with duke and John after work as pandemic still carries on amongst the unvaxxed with US deaths 766k
3.2 Aroma of malt, dark chocolate & smoke. Black with a long lasting light brown head. Light bitter taste with a touch of sweetness. Medium body, creamy texture & soft carbonation.
3.8 Negra de baja fermentación, color intenso, reflejos cobrizos y espuma blanca. Notas en nariz tostadas a castaña y mazapán. Ligera en boca con notas a caramelo y chocolate. Vaso alto tipo trigo
3.4 Poured from a 16.9 oz can into a glass. Dark brown with a finger of beige head. Nice malty flavor. Very refreshing beer. The style isn't my favorite.
3.5 13.10.2021 Squid Game. Kwaśny szwarcbir. Ale dobry.
3.2 Aromat słabej kawy, kwaskowy z nutami chlebowymi i slodowymi, dosyć kiepski. S: chlebowo miodowe aromaty aczkolwiek piwo nie jest slodkie, jest lekkie, slodowe z delikatna kwaskowoscia, bardzo wodniste. Rozwodniona kawa z zielonym jabluszkiem w tle.
3.8 Bottle from Beers Of Europe. Pours almost black (cola colour) with a large thick creamy beige head. Aromas of caramel, dark fruit, burnt brown bread and brown sugar. Taste is more of the same again with roasted malts, nuts, a touch of chocolate and a fairly sweet finish. Thinnish body with average carbonation. Good beer
3.3 Pours black with a thick tan head of a couple fingers. If it were more carbonated it would have the appearance of soda. Aromatic notes of roasted cocoa, coffee and caramel. Flavor is silky dark chocolate with bittersweet finish. Some nice grass hop balancing notes. Some creaminess in the mouthfeel. At only 4.8% a/bv this does a nice job of presenting a solid roasted malt flavor, yet remains smooth and drinkable. A good black lager with understated flavor.
