Stallhagen Dark Honey is the darker sister beer to the popular Honungsöl or Honeybeer. A dry, fresh and malty lager beer with a deep distinguished aroma of honey. Dark Honey is medium bodied with a complex but well balanced maltiness, bitterness is round and pleasant. The colour is copper red, the head tight and creamlike with small soft bubbles. In the aroma notes of toasted bread and nuts are highlighted, complemented with a light fruitiness and subtle honey.

Dark Honey is flavored with genuine local honey collected by hardworking bees from wild flowering plants in the Åland archipelago. The honey gets a specific aroma depending on which flowers it was collected from – apple, clover, heather…

Dark Honey leads your thoughts to nice autumnal evening walks in the archipelago. This is a smooth nicely rounded beer to be enjoyed as such, it also pairs well with many foods. Suggestions: Pasta with wild mushrooms; mushroom soup; wild duck; waterfowl stew; hare and mild goat cheeses.

A beautiful colour, coppery. A head is almost medium and blond. The nose has malts, some bread and sweetness of honey. Taste is malty, hint of bread, mild, not too sweet. Light bodied, quite harsh carbonation. Too mild and modest beer. Otherwise, there are no faults.

Aroma has honey, hayish malt and some metallic tones. Flavour has grainy malt, some honey, metal and toffee. Honey rises towards the finish. Also some grassy and herbal hops in the finish. The good thing is that honey is not that overwhelming. But the bad thing is that there’s nothing else that would make this interesting.
