Aarhus Imperial Stout
Aarhus Imperial Stout is almost black with a full body. Roasted malts bring deep notes of coffee and dark chocolate, and a pleasant sweetness rounds off the taste. The hops are tuned to support the dark malt without dominating, which makes it softer and more approachable than many strong stouts. Barley malt, unrefined cane sugar and hops go into the brew, with the malt in the lead.
