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.

Huge thanks to WillemsUrenkel for that one! Bottle looks good. Beer in the glass deep black, nice small head. Roasty-malty aroma. Starts intense roasty malty, some chocolate, some wood. Light caramel hints. Finish milder, still warming-malty. Not bad.

0.5 l bottle from the brewery, best before September 2023. Black with a thin, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, quite roasty aroma of caramel, cocoa, hazelnut and coffee. Quite sweet, malty, gently roasty taste of dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, hazelnut, caramel and hints of vanilla, followed by a short, gently roasty-bitter, slightly earthy finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very nice Porter, really well-brewed, quite saturating for only 6.5%.

0,5 l bottle from the fish shop next to the brewery. Black in the glass, with a steady two finger dark beige head. Malty choco smell, little bit roasted. Taste is roasted malty, boozy elements, low fruity, dry barrel wood.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours an almost opaque black with only a vague tint of orange and a small, beige head. Roasty nose with a vague, peaty hint. Medium body, roast and chocolate, again vaguely peaty with no real bitterness. A decently drinkable Porter if a little vague considering the 6.5%. 120621
