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.

[Draught at Købehavnske Øldage] Dark brown, small head. Evident chocolate aroma. Sweetish with gently rounded mouthfeel. Easy going, yet flavourful with a wealth of chocolate malt. Velvetty finish with low bitterness. Very well balanced and enjoyable stout.

Cloudy amber color; thick creamy head; nice lace. Aroma of malt, fruits, flowers; short. Medium malty taste, correct bitterness, bitter oranges; but also a light astringency and too much bitterness given by the start of an infection.

A pitch black beer with only a rim of orange head. The aroma is quite light and has light notes of tar, alcohol, and roasted malt, as well as a slight acidity. The flavor is rather roasted and malty, with a slight acidic touch, and the body is quite light. I find it both too dark in color and too roasted to be a Schwarzbier - I’d call it a stout.

Draught at Ølmolevitten, Aarhus. Only 3 kegs of 19 Liter made of this brew, so hurry to Ølmolevitten. April 27. 2006 first keg on tap. You may have 2-3 weeks only. Creamy white fair mostly deminishing head. Black colour. Heavy malty/chocolate aroma. A little yeasty. Nice bitter/sweet flavor. Good balance. Average finish. Very soft carbonated and a little watery.
