Indslev Sort

Tap to rate

A wheat stout: where stout is normally brewed on barley alone, this one is brewed on about half wheat, which makes it rounder, softer and less sharp than a typical stout. Dark malts, among them a smoked malt, bring smoke and a liquorice-like flavour; it smells faintly of coffee and carries light notes of dark chocolate. The brewery wonders whether it was among the first to brew this rare type of beer.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Indslev Sort

◎ Appearance

Deep black to opaque brown, revealing no light even when held to the source. The head is dense and persistent, with fine bubbles that leave distinct lacing down the glass. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, contributing to a creamy visual structure.

◌ Aroma

Prominent smoke from the smoked malt forms the foundation, accompanied by subtle licorice-like notes that add intrigue. Coffee and dark roasted grain emerge on the second pass, while faint dark chocolate undertones round out the nose. The wheat component softens the overall impression, preventing any harsh or acrid qualities.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and wheat-forward, with a rounded mouthfeel that distinguishes this from typical barley-based stouts. Mid-palate develops roasted grain character, smoke, and subtle cocoa complexity, building a rich but never heavy presence. Bitterness is restrained at 35 IBU, allowing the malt-driven flavors to dominate; any sharpness is replaced by smooth, slightly sweet grain.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, lingering with smoke and a faint licorice whisper rather than harsh dryness. Aftertaste is clean and malty, with residual chocolate notes fading gradually into toast and grain.

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