Rán
Rán is an Irish stout of 4.8 % with a twist: blackcurrant. The recipe was developed with a Danish brewery for its bars. Nine different malts are layered into a rich base, and classic English hops add a small zip of bitterness. The blackcurrant stays in the background and brings a little sweetness and tartness at the end, in balance with the malt. It remains an easy-drinking stout.

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