Astral Grains foreign extra stout is a rich, roasty embodiment of all that's great about dark malts. Our yeast and hop profile are minor components in this beer so that the dark chocolate, dried fruit and coffee flavours can take centre stage. Malt, malt and more malt. A stellar stout. Cheers!

Et nytt bryggeri er alltid velkommen til statistikken min, og her i form av en 0,44 enkeltmannspakke fra fjernlageret i Verksgata : brunsvart med et mørkerødt skjær og tett, beige skum som varer så lenge det trengs. De mørke malter er som seg hør og bør i førersetet, tett etterfulgt av mørke karamelchokolader, litt furunål og noe urteaktig. Tørr og gledelig avslutning. A stylish stout.

Can @ home. Almost black body under a nice, foamy beige head. Aroma has roasted dark malt, coffee and chocolate. Taste is well balanced, smooth roasted, dark malt, a fine touch of coffee and dark chocolate with balanced bitterness. Fine body and pleasant aftertaste. Very nice, classic stout. Ticks all the boxes, not much to complain about here.

440ml can bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Lacing rings down the glass from a firm, beige head, near-black body. Roasted chocolate malts, mid-sweet, aromas, promising. Fine blended dark malty flavours, moments of chocolate-coffee added by a backdrop of dark fruits, and ash. Gently roasted finish. Fine depth to it. Like it. (Tromsø, 18,03.2026).

20 June 2025. “Iets voor den Erwin” @ Dracuna. Cheers to the whole GBV crew!
Roasted malt, cold coffee, old fondant. Restrainedly sweetish blackberry, coffee, roasted malt. Earthy hops, coffee, toast. Average to fizzy carbonation. Restrained, the ABV suggested a bit more flavour though.
