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.

Bottle. Red berries in the malty, peppery aroma. Roasted malt, cinnamon and red berries in the sweetish, malty flavor. Well balanced, tasty. Fairly light-flavored for a stout.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a hazy golden with a very frothy and lively white head. Spicy, perfumy nose - interesting and pleasant. Medium body, rich, sweet fruitiness and again an interesting almost perfumy note. But there's also a yeasty and phenollic edge that isn't all that pleasant. Solid, late bitterness. 200819

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear brown with an orange hue and a creamy and lacing off-white head - very pretty. Very unusual, spicy nose that has both distinct oak and some peated iodine notes. Rich, sweet, dark roast. A little licorice and the subtle iodine note very present but never overpowering. The oak chips seem more Bourbon-like than anything else, which certainly adds to the beer in a positive way. A pleasant surprise. 260619
