Eibauer Schwarzbier is one of the oldest black beers in Germany, brewed since 1810 at the Eibau private brewery in the Saxon Kottmar region, thus boasting over 210 years of brewing tradition. A legend tells of a malt monk from Zittau who once visited the Eibau brewery monthly to test the quality of the malt. Finely spicy and aromatic, brewed bottom-fermented and full-bodied in taste, this classic Saxon black beer presents itself with an almost black, mahogany-red color and a creamy, fine-pored foam crown. The roasted malt, black bread, and delicate caramel aromas in the nose, along with a soft, velvety body featuring roasted grain notes, light caramel, subtle hazelnut and licorice hints, and a pleasantly mild hop bitterness in the finish, create a finely structured and harmonious black beer of the classic Upper Lusatian style. Eibauer Schwarzbier is the perfect choice for those seeking a high-quality, full-bodied, and authentically Saxon black beer with over two centuries of brewing history, which impresses as an elegant companion to hearty home-style cooking, game dishes, and aged cheeses, as well as a flavorful expression of one of the most traditional and distinctive breweries of Upper Lusatia.
