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.

[bottle from Copenhagen] Bubblegummy roasted malt aroma with some citrus that may come from hops and a hint of scotch tape. Velvety black with a dense, light brown fuzz. Fresh, unaged roasted malty beer flavour with a little vanilla and a pungent, scotch-tapey bitterness. The bitterness holds on a bit too long. Sort of boring for this style. Medium to full body, moderate carbonation.

50 cl bottle, via Papsoe. Pours a clear, very dark brown, body under a fizzy tight bubbled one inch brown head. Lots of carbonation going on. The nose is very roasty and slightly burnt malts with chalk, moderate hoppiness, light smoke, chocolate, and a little yeast. The flavor comes across as a little too burnt with too much ashiness for me. The hop bitterness and malt astringency combine on the finish and make for a very acrid finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, watery in texture, with too much fizzy carbonation. Overall, I really didn’t care for this one all that much, though it was far from bad. Seemed very one dimensional.

Pours a nice dark brown black with very little light getting thru the mug. Nose is different...but not in a great way. Vegetal and anaerobic. The hops have turned against this bine stout. Someone fianally had a light hand when adding the roasted coffee/blak patent malts. Whew. Some nice chocolate tones as well. Again the dry hopping got a bit out of hand here and got to those quasi turning compost issues.

Brown, unclear. Deep beige head. Rich aroma with roasted malts and notes of coffee. Hard carbonation. Mild (thin) flavour dominated by roasted malts with some notes of coffee and licorice. Faintly sourish notes too. Some underlying malty sweetness and traces om hops in the finish. Sugarsticky palate.

50 cL bottle, celebration beer after 14 hours of work as elected voter in 2007. Pours dark brown to black with a dense chocolate brown head. Roasted malt with a smooth chocolate note and a mild liqourice edge blending nicely in with a lovely peach fruity hops aroma. Flavour is dry hoppy with peach fruit and a thick chocolate and roasted malt smoothness. Ends quite hoppy bitter and with an edge from the roasted malt. Quite nice.
