Ulven Kommer

Tap to rate

A strong ale brewed with heather honey from Thy National Park. "Ulven Kommer!" is a well-known story but also the reality for this beer's home country: the honey comes from Thy National Park, where the first dead wolf in recent times was found. The skeleton can be seen at the Zoological Museum in Copenhagen and also tours other museums in the country, and a wolf has even been seen near the brewery.

◌ Aroma

Heather honey dominates the nose with generous floral and sweet notes that are immediately prominent. Supporting layers of toasted Malz, light caramel, and herbaceous undertones from the honey's terroir add depth and complexity. The alcohol presence is evident but well-integrated, contributing warmth without harshness.

◐ Taste

Honey sweetness leads on the palate, rich and full-bodied with a smooth malty foundation. Mid-palate reveals caramel notes and subtle herbal complexity that echoes the honey's botanical origin. Bitterness is restrained at 35 IBU, allowing the sweetness and malt character to remain foremost, while the 6% ABV brings a gentle boozy warmth that carries through to the finish.
