Dark Sky

Tap to rate

A Belgian-inspired stout, black as night, aged on oak and whisky. The nose is intense with roasted malt, chocolate and a hint of whisky; the body is full with dark notes of coffee, liquorice and vanilla from the oak, and the finish is long and warm. It takes its name from the Dark Sky area of Møn, one of the few Dark Sky areas in Denmark.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Dark Sky

◎ Appearance

Deep black with an opaque body that yields no light. A dense, tan head builds on the pour and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is restrained, appropriate to the weight and age of this spirit-forward brew.

◌ Aroma

Intense and layered, opening with toasted and roasted malts, then giving way to dark chocolate and cocoa powder. Whisky and oak are unmistakable in the background, warm and inviting, with a subtle hint of licorice winding through the profile.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied and warming on entry, with pronounced coffee and roasted grain notes dominating the mid-palate. Vanilla and oak spice emerge as the beer sits, balanced by a controlled bitterness of 65 IBU that complements rather than dominates. The alcohol warmth is present but integrated, lending smoothness and depth.

◑ Finish

Long and lingering, with coffee and dark malt fading slowly into a dry, slightly spiced conclusion. The alcohol heat persists pleasantly, leaving a rich aftertaste of chocolate and liquorice.

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