About
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.

Grauballe Bryghus owns 3 breweries/brands:

A dark brown beer with a red shine underneath a thin orange head. The totally dominated by juniper berries - I like that. The flavor is lightly sweet with a good note of juniper berries, as well as heather and wood, leading to a dry end.

330 ml bottle, bought at Mahlers Vinhandel, Frederikshavn, Denmark. Unfiltered. Nearly black colour, large and creamy tan head. Lovely aroma of juniper berries first and foremost, roast malts and dark chocolate in the background. Flavour of roast malts, coffee and dark chocolate, maybe some liquorice too, the juniper berries are around but are not dominant. Moderately sweet, some faint acidic notes in the finish. Fairly bitter aftertaste, both from the roastiness and the hops. An excellent stout in my book, with an unusual but successful addition of juniper berries.

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)
