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 50 cl. Pours a hazy, rough, off-white head - seems pretty lifeless. Sweet, toffeeish, gummy aroma. Rich body, malty, caramellish, toffee, overripe fruit with an odd edgy tartness. Warming alcohol finish. Somewhat rough - but it will get you plastered. 120219

Bottle 50 cl. Pours an almost clear nutty brown with a fizzy, beige head that dissipates in no time. Sweet caramel aroma with a spicy edge - gale? Medium body, excessive carbonation, initially sweet and spicy but a massive tartness comes rushing in, combined with astringency. An attempt on a so-called Nordic Ale. Well, if there ever was a beer like this in historic times then I'm glad I wasn't born back then. In these modern times at least I have a sink to drainpour this in. 110219

Tasted as 'Dark Christmas';dark brown colour, medium sized beige-ish head, which disappears quickly; aroma and taste of moderate dried sour cherry, dark chocolate and some red wine-ish notes, much less bodies than expected based on its ABV, otherwise it's ok

Creamy off white head stayed well on a reddish brown still body. Minimal aroma of dark sugar & Christmas spices. Medium bodied, creamy to the front followed quickly by a sharp prickly dry sticky back. Malt, brown sugar, dark berries & fruits to the fore with a contrasting back of spice, medicinal, herbal, citrus & schnapps(?). Unusual but drinkable
