Enebær Stout

Tap to rate

Enebær Stout gets its scent of juniper and forest floor from a hop bill of First Gold, Saaz, Cascade and Styrian hops. The beer began as a special release in 2008 and is made by Grauballe Bryghus in Silkeborg. The Danish name, enebær meaning juniper, points straight at the character that gives this stout its identity.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Enebær Stout

◎ Appearance

Deep black-brown colour with minimal transparency, characteristic of the stout style. A dense, tan head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass walls, leaving distinct lacing on the descent. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting the visual structure without excessive effervescence.

◌ Aroma

Juniper dominates the nose, lending a distinctive forest-floor character that sets this stout apart from traditional examples. Supporting notes of pine and herbal spice emerge from the Saaz and Styrian hop blend, while roasted malt provides an earthy undertone. The overall impression is aromatic and forward-facing, with hop character clearly leading the olfactory profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with assertive hop bitterness and piney, spicy-hop notes that persist across the mid-palate. Roasted and chocolate malt flavours integrate smoothly beneath the herbal character, adding richness without heaviness. Dark fruit notes emerge in the background, while the 6% ABV keeps the body lean and drinkable despite the complexity.
