Krenkerup Stout

Tap to rate

Light coffee and liquorice notes from roasted malt give this stout a distinct character and colour without making it heavy; the flavour is very soft and full, under a fine dark head. It is lighter in taste and strength than many stouts and still a proper one. Time matters when this stout is brewed: tell the brew master to hurry and he will tell you to lean back and be patient.
