Commercial Description:
Criollo Stout is the latest in Carlsberg’s Semper Ardens range of exclusive hand-brewed beers. The name comes from the Criollo cocoa beans used in the chocolate that is added during the brewing process. Among the malt types used, chocolate malt and caramel malt deliver the lightly burnt, sweet malt aroma together with the black colour. Rye malt contributes and characteristic acidity and taste nuances. Pilsner malt is also used. Criollo Stout is unfiltered. The remaining yeast adds body and a certain dryness in the finish. A small amount of English liquorice is also added and the stout is hopped with a carefully chosen bitter hop together with a Saaz aroma hop.

Man, do i love this beer. The different scents and flavors of coffee and dark, bitter chocolate goes perfectly along with the choices of malts. It´s very dark, almost black and should be tried by all who like stouts.

Coffee aroma. Pours cola black with a small head but lots of carbonation. Heavily roasted with coffee, caramel and chocolate. Reasonably good stout, if a little overcarbonated.

Øl fået hos naben. Typisk sort stout. Duften er meget let, og smagen er for brændt. Til og med synes jeg smagen er sur.
