Commercial Description:
ØLFABRIKKEN SORTØL (Black-beer) is our interpretation of an age old Belgian beer style. This ale is pitch-black without being roasted as a porter. The mild flavor of coffee and liquorice is the result of a cold-water extract of burned rye. The flavor is deep and complex with nuances of caramel from, among other things, raisin syrup and Muscovado cane sugar. Two types of Belgian yeast has been used, providing peppery and vinous nuances supported by exotic spices. Serve it with rabbit with raisins, herbs and mushrooms stewed in Sortøl. Ølfabrikken Sortøl is, of course, unpasteurized, unfiltered and bottle conditioned like all of our beers. Available in keg and bottle.

A good looking beer, black with a foamy well lasting light brown head. Dominating liquorice aroma with a note of menthol in the background that gives associations to cough sweets. Fresh and odd. Lots of liquorice in the flavor as well with a burned note and a warming alcohol sensation that is quite evident. Menthol again, some herbs and a dry roasted finish. Sharp and biding on the tongue. Interesting and different with a style of its own. Thanks a bunch Christian!

From Vignoble, Aarhus Bottled Very dominated by raffinated sugar - Too odd i spicing and yeast notes. Needs something mouthfilling to balance

Pours black with medium brown head. Aroma is coffee, roasted malts, chocolate and smoke. Looks and smells like a well made porter. More gentle in the flavor but still very powerfull with notes of roasted malts, dark fruits, smoke and chocolate. Very good stuff.

Pours black with a big foamy dark yellow head. Some lacings. Smells of dark malts and with a tiny hint of alcohol. Sweet with some bitterness. Aromas of caramel and dried dark fruit esters. Some alcohol notes. Also tiny liquirish hints. Full bodied. Low carbonation. Crispy dry finish with the raisins lingering. Good stuff... "Traditional Ale" - really?

Bottle. Black with a nice brownish head. Nice subtle aroma of coffee along with sweet notes of raisins, figs, dates, abricots and caramel. Flavour of licorice, coffee and roasted malts. Lots of roasted malts actually. Some caramel/syrup sweetness as well and a burnt bitter finish with some smokiness added. A very interesting mixture of dark belgian ale and stout flavours, which turn out as a good beer.
