Nemesis

Tap to rate

An English-style Brown Ale with notes of bread, caramel and nuts. Barley malt forms the base, joined by wheat, oats and rye in the brew. Brown Ale is one of the simple, traditional beer types that the Bad Seed team tries its hand at, alongside Witbier; it is brewed in the former Landkær brewery premises in Gudumholm, home of the brewery since 2018.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent nutty and caramel notes, underpinned by a gentle bready character from the barley malt base. Wheat and oat adjuncts contribute a subtle earthiness beneath the sweeter malt aromatics. The overall impression is warm and approachable, with no aggressive hop character to distract from the grain-forward profile.

◐ Taste

On the palate, caramel and nut flavors take the lead, supported by a toasty, malty backbone that feels rich without being heavy. The blend of wheat, oats, and rye adds a subtle complexity and smooth texture. Bitterness is restrained at 24 IBU, allowing the malt sweetness to dominate while maintaining good balance and drinkability.
