Fisherman’s Smoked was the first stronger beer of our brewery. The smoke comes from the malts, of which about 20 % are smoked. Deep brown to the colour with a pale brown foamy head the beer is strongly maltbased, which gives both a malty sweetness which blends together with the smoke. The recipe was developed with food in mind.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a hazy brown with a rough, beige head. Roasty nose, a tad vanilla. Medium body, a dry roastiness with a hint of licorice and tobacco. But smoky? Not really. Dry finish with no real bitterness. Just a Stout really. 050625
