Tap to rate

A gentler version of Mors Stout, with slightly less dark barley malt but higher in alcohol. Bedstefars Øl, the grandfather's beer, is also in the stout range. Mors Stout itself dates from 2003. The brewery brews its beer on Funen from Funen barley. Mors Julestout and Mors Påske Stout are its seasonal siblings.

Coffee notes emerge alongside darker chocolate undertones, while a gentle alcohol warmth suggests the elevated ABV without overwhelming the more delicate malt-derived aromas.

◐ Taste

The palate is smooth and malty from the first sip, with roasted grain and chocolate forming the foundation. Mid-palate reveals a creamy, full body that belies the 6.2% ABV, while coffee and dark fruit notes provide complexity. Bitterness remains restrained at 35 IBU, allowing the rich malt character to dominate without astringency.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
