Sorte Louis is a jet-black porter, infused with Stauning Whisky's own smoked malt from the fields around Stauning, as well as the subsequently distilled raw spirit.
By uniting two of the region's dedicated food producers, we have chosen to pay tribute to a legendary vessel that in a way also united people from both sides of the fjord.
When my father was a boy in the 90s, the ferry "Sorte Louis" sailed locals and tourists between Hvide Sande and Ringkøbing. The ferry has had something of a stormy history and today functions as a boat restaurant in Aarhus.
The porter has a lovely, subdued aroma and taste from the smoked malt, as well as a pleasant aftertaste from the raw spirit.

Bottle. An unclear brown beer under a dense, finger-thick beige head. The aroma is roasted and lightly burnt, with toffee and hints of molasses. It’s full-bodied and lightly boozy-warming, with a gentle carbonation. Burnt, charred malts and some coffee. Lightly herbal. Long roasted, burnt and charcoal-ish finish. A decent brew, nothing more. 231124

500ml bottle, many thanks to Skinnyviking. Deep dark brownish body, rich lacing from a stable fawn-coloured head. Slightly smoked malty aromas with a scent of chocolate malts. Malt-driven flavours of dark bread, chocolate, and biscuit. Slightly smoked finish. Nice mouthfeel. Like it. (Hotel room, Copenhagen 05.05.2023).
