Beers Eye Drunk

Köstriker, though fancied by the German poet Goethe, calls to mind no visions of demons. In fact, the aroma kind of reminds me of my father's socks. A dark and heavy lager, lacking in intensity, Kostriker is smooth and drinkable, despite a mildly unpleasant dank wheat smell and a bitter metallic aftertaste. The head on this beer falls flat in a matter of blinks, succumbing to the impenetrable black water through which you must strain yourself to grasp the flavor.

This beer is definitely for people who like a heavy, black beer, but also want to drink a lot really fast. Perhaps, taken in at a large volume, you may have an experience close to other-worldly. At most, though, I would only expect to have to take a poop which borders on the supernatural sometime around 8:30 AM the next day.

One of the guys who works at the super-market recommended this beer with a little plastic tag on it. I now thank Köstriker for reminding me that there are two kinds of people I can't trust, Germans and people who work at the super-market.
