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!

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.
