Mælkevejens Stout

Tap to rate

A dark, full-bodied top-fermented stout with a creamy malt body, silky vanilla and a rounded sweetness. Notes of coffee, dark chocolate and vanilla; the finish is soft, with vanilla lingering in the background. Brewed with lactose and oat and wheat malt. It is inspired by the night sky above Møn, one of the few places in Denmark where the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent vanilla and soft roasted notes, followed by dark chocolate and coffee aromatics. Underlying malty sweetness suggests caramel and grain without harsh burnt edges. The lactose integration adds a subtle creamy, almost custard-like undertone to the overall bouquet.

◐ Taste

The palate enters silky and enveloping, with vanilla as the dominant flavor note backed by rich dark chocolate and coffee character. The oat and wheat malt foundation delivers a creamy, rounded mouthfeel with gentle sweetness, while low bitterness (18 IBU) allows the roasted grain and adjunct flavors to dominate. Mid-palate depth remains consistent and balanced throughout.

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.

Pint glass

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

Drink within a year. Standard stouts are best fresh but hold reasonably well for 6–12 months.
