Limfjordsporter
Almost black with a creamy, light-brown head, this bottom-fermented porter tastes of licorice, smoke, roasted barley and malt sweetness, kept in line by a pronounced hop bitterness. It is brewed with smoked malt and liquid English licorice. Born in Aalborg in 1923, it was relaunched by Thisted on 3 January 1989 after seven years of experiments, once the original brewery had closed. Fans call it „Øllets Gentleman“.
