Köstritzer Schwarzbier – Black Lager

If you think dark beer has to be heavy, Köstritzer is here to completely change your perspective. As Germany’s most famous Schwarzbier, this is a legendary "black lager" that delivers all the visual drama of a stout with the crisp, clean finish of a pilsner. It pours a stunning deep mahogany—almost jet black—with a creamy, tan head, but don't let the colour fool you. On the nose, you’ll find elegant notes of bitter chocolate, roasted coffee beans, and toasted pumpernickel. On the palate, it is remarkably light-bodied and refreshing, offering a delicate roasted malt character without any of the cloying sweetness or heavy mouthfeel. It finishes dry and snappy with a gentle spicy hop bitterness, making it an elite-tier food beer or a sophisticated session choice for those who appreciate the dark side.
