Midtfyns Stout

Tap to rate

Almost black under a creamy head, this stout is roasted and malty, with a full malt profile, a gentle sweetness and a bitter side. Notes of coffee, liquorice and dried fruit run through it. It was one of the first three beers Midtfyns launched at the end of 2006, alongside an Ale and a Wheat, and it is still brewed today on pilsner, caramel and chocolate malt.

◐ Taste

On the palate, roasted malt and coffee take center stage with a velvety, full-bodied texture. Sweet caramel notes provide counterpoint to the firm but gentle bitterness at mid-palate, while dark fruit and cocoa nuances weave through, creating a balanced composition that avoids harshness despite the 7.2% ABV.

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.

Pint glass

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