My Favorite

This is my absolute favorite beer in the world, and I have tried a lot of beer. It has a very roasted malts taste.

Kostritzer Schwarzbier Tasting Notes

somper's picture

Appearance: Bottle pour, a dark brown color with a medium beige head.

Aroma: Heavy malt aroma, both sweet and burnt. Some hints of caramel and maple syrup.

Flavor: Very malty with sweet notes of caramel, some smoky character, mild bitterness.

Mouthfeel: Relatively light in body - a bit surprising given its appearance. Well carbonated and crisp. Lasting impression of lightly roasted malts.

Overall Impression: Overall pretty solid. A great session beer due in part to the low ABV. Certainly a cold-weather beer for me.

Comments: I would drink this again. The Schwarzbier is a nice combination of lager crispness with some characteristics of a robust porter.
