Description
On a small abandoned farm back in 2002 William Frank and Else Birk started a small brew house focusing on quality and good craftsmanship. The brewery was not far from where the Grauballe man (a bog body that was uncovered in 1952 from a peat bog) was found - hence the name Grauballe Bryghus.

Grauballe Bryghus was in these premises until the year 2013. By then it had grown so big that it was time to move to larger premises where it is today.

500 ml bottle, as Grauballe Mosebryg Mørk, from Hos Walter, Ebeltoft. ABV is 5.6%. Black colour, moderate tan head. Nice malty aroma, notes of light roast, hints of chocolate, mild coffee and smoke. The flavour is slightly on the dry side, with the same elements as the aroma. A faint acidity, hints of prunes. Very moderate hops. Easy drinking.
