Commercial Description:
Danish: Måske fornemmer du det allerede, når kapslen fjernes og næsen sættes til flasken – denne ”Stout” dufter anderledes, end hvad du er vant til. Vi har nemlig tørhumlet den sent i processen med de ædle amerikanske humler Nugget, Centennial og Cascade, som giver de blomsteragtige toner, der lægger sig oven på de karakteristiske Stout-kendetegn af brændt malt og giver både lethed og friskhed. I glasset fremstår Sundby Stout kulsort, mens skumkronen er tæt, lysebrun og næsten cappuccinoagtigt cremet, mens tungen fornemmer både maltsødme og antydninger af bitter, mørk chokolade og engelsk lakrids. Sødmen får dog kvalificeret modspil i den hårdt ristede malt og den flækkede, umaltede og ristede byg, der begge er med til at give øllet dets brændte præg. Sundby Stout er en klassisk ”Stout”, som alligevel godt tør være anderledes og udfordrende.

English: Sundby Stout is a classic ”Stout” and yet it dares to be different and challenging. As soon as the beer is opened and you smell it, you sense that this stout smells differently than what you would expect. Late in the brewing process we have added the noble, American dried hops such as Nugget, Centennial, and Cascade, which provide flower-like notes that lay on top of the typical stout characteristics of burned malt that adds lightness and freshness to the beer. Sundby Stout appears dark as the night, while the head is dense, light brown – almost cappuccino-like creamy, as your tongue sense both malt sweetness and hints of bitter, dark chocolate and English liquorice. The sweetness, however, is rightfully challenged from the hard roasted malt and the split, un-malted and roasted barley, which both contribute to the “burned” touch of our stout.

500ml from State Line. The beer starts quite promisingly, with a thick dark brown pour that leaves a nice half-inch head and some moderately sticky retention. Pleasant aroma of chocolate malts and bread. The mouthfeel is thinnish, however, and the slightly lactic feel seems to underscore the relatively one-dimensional flavor profile. Sweet and creamy, without quite enough depth to satisfy. Decent beer though.

Bottle, thanks to badgerben for sharing. Pours an opaque black body with brown head. Aroma of dark malts and cocoa along with some hints of tar and coffee. Flavor is similar with a more roasted malt and ashy character. Roasted malt finish.

Medium brown head. Opaque black body. Roasty metallic citric hop aroma. Bitter-sweetish burnt citric taste, kind of neutral. Thinnish body. Light acidity, possibly from infection. Dry burnt sooty citric aftertaste. Not very successful, probably because of light infection. (0.5l bottle from Skjold Burne, Copenhagen. Should rerate.)

Sampled during Akevitt’s Scandinavian Beer Night and shared by badgerben. From a 500ml bottle pours a hazy dark brown colored brew with a thin beige head that quickly dissipates to a thin film top. Aroma of toasted dark malt, chocolate, a hint of coffee, citrus zest and some red licorice. Taste is medium to full bodied, very light carbonation, with flavors of plums, toasted dark malt, chocolate, a hint of coffee, vanilla and some smokiness. Finish has a mild metallic aftertaste texture with a decent flavor of toasted dark malt, smoke and vanilla.
