This week I took a walk on the Dark side, first with Warsteiner Dunkel, next up my favorite Schwarzbier, Köstritzer, since 1543, a beer I’ve brewed clones of. Delicious! After chugging this Dark, I’m in better “spirits,” I’ve seen the light!

Köstritzer is actually slightly lighter in color than yesterday’s Dunkel and lacks the roasted Barley which produced my perceived roasted coffee notes yesterday. It is a smooth and easy drinking brew, SUPER easy and clean, I believe a lot of Schwarzbiers actually start out with a large portion of Pilsner malt in the grist.

At 4.8% ABV, this beer is perfection and no wonder it is Germany’s #1 Schwarzbier. Malty, dark but not heavy, slight amount of head and minimal lacing. This brew actually shows walnut and mahogany highlights through the pint glass. You can chug this 500 ml can in one pass. Das ist gutes Bier!
