Kornmo'

Tap to rate

A top-fermented beer with coffee beans and soft English caramels. The idea came from the brewery's guest speaker Lars Bæk Pedersen, who also chose the name. At the malthouse in Refsvindinge, barley is still prepared with old-fashioned craftsmanship. John and Ellen Rasmussen took over the brewery on 1 January 2001.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Kornmo'

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by roasted coffee notes—deep and inviting without harshness—layered with soft toffee and candy sweetness from the English caramel malts. A subtle malty undertone supports the profile, while restrained Noble hop character adds a faint herbal whisper beneath the coffee-forward character.

◐ Taste

Coffee and caramel form the core of the palate, with the coffee providing a gentle roasted bite and the caramel delivering smooth, honeyed sweetness. The malt bill supports this interplay without overwhelming, while moderate bitterness (30 IBU) balances the residual sweetness and integrates cleanly. The body is soft and rounded, avoiding any harshness or astringency.

Serve at 6–8°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

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

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
