Malted barley, oats. The equivalent to Table Beer in our range of stouts and porters. Not brewed to 'dry stout'-style, per se, but a stout that is dry. Light-bodied but not thin, with more prominent kettle-hopping and then dry-hopping to add some brightness and contrast to the roasty, biscuity, and savoury character of the dark malts.

Tap at Mikkeller Århus. A very well balanced stout. A bit of chocolate, bit of smoke. Nothing is overpowering. Not enamoured but certainly is decent.
