Borran's Beer Review: Köstritzer Schwarzbier

---

It's been a while since my last review, sorry for that! Anyway, today I'm reviewing a Schwarzbier called Köstritzer Schwarzbier from the brewery Köstritzer Schwarzbierbrauerei. A classic black beer from Germany. I've had it many times before, but I have actually never reviewed the beer before, so let's do it!

"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"

This beer is like a cross between a lager and a porter and suits well with food. Very easy to drink, but still has a lot of flavors. If you like black lagers, you should try this one! P.S. it is also quite cheap!

Verdict: My rating: 3.5 out of 5.
