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.

Draugth at Plan B, Copenhagen
Black color; creamy head. It has some aroma of roasted malts and smoke. Good body, with good chocolate malt flavor, some caramel, light roasted malt too; there is some residual sweetness; the mouthfeel is quite smooth (also because all the carbonation has gone into foam, with the tap); for my liking, it has a bit too much bitterness from the roasted malt, in the end. Quite good.

Bottle, 75cl corked, at Copenhagen Beerfestival. It’s a hazy, brown beer wtih a decent, dense, beige head. Sweet, herbal and spiced nose with a good dash of caramel. The flavor is quite sweet, with caramel and dried fruits, as well as herbs and earthy hops and pinecones. Rather dry in the mouth though, with a nice bitterness in the end. Overall, I find it too herbal, but it’s a decent beer. (090517)

On tap at Copenhagen Beerfestival. A hazy, orange-brown beer with a small,. off-white head. Sweet, sugary nose wtih some hints of beefstock, and pineapple from the hops. The flavor is much the same, lots of malty sweetness blending with fruity hops and pineapple. Alcohol too. Long bitter finish with topical fruits. Full-bodied and warming, a bit on the sugary side. A quite tasteful and warming beer

From tap at Ølbaren. Pours hazy dark brown head. Aroma is hoppy, mild acidic and slight breadish. Dense malty flavoured, sweet sugarish, mild acidic and fruity hoppy flavoured. Sweet and young malty barley wine flavoured. Light bitter finish with a persisting fruity flavour. Too young and unrefined in profile to really come through, note experiment though.
