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.

Bottled. Amber, clear beer with a beige head, almost nitro-looking, but not that lasting. Nice, but weak aroma with caramel, malt and fruity hops. Flavor is very well balanced with malt and hops, maybe a bit on the sweet, caramelly side, but definately not unpleasant. Medium body and a finish with sweetness and a good, lasting but not overpowering piney bitterness. A pleasant brew from Grauballe. (060719)

Very dark brown colour. Aroma leads with roast and a natural, subtle fruitiness that can be interpreted in any number of different ways, all with chocolate riding shotgun. The body is a shade thin and the flavour a shade light but the balance between the roast, chocolate and juniper is pretty sound. Reminds me of the Juniper Dubbel I made once in terms of the integration of fruit and underlying brew. Just wish it was more assertive.

Bottled. Dark reddish-brown with a beige head. Roasted malt, juniper berries and wood in the aroma and flavor. Bitter and dry finish. First time I tasted a stout with juniper-berries, but it was quite nice. Thanks a lot to Papsoe for sharing this and 24 other beers and a cider on this long and enjoying night. (060518)
