Advent Day 11: Jule Stout

Jule Stout

ABV: 7.6%

Probably the coolest thing about Midtfyns Bryghus Jule Stout is that the label actually has braille on it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that on a label before. Basically black in colour this beer’s head started as a deep coffee colour before fading to a creamy white colour. It was very thick and had fantastic retention, followed by a rich coffee and slightly sweet nose. The mouthfeel of this beer is very thick and has bits of coffee, dark chocolate, caramel and a bit of bitterness to balance it all. The bottle says the beer is spiced with star anise and fennel seeds but as I lack experience with either flavour I was unable to pick them out.

Rating: 4.5/5 – Delicious and complex, I look forward to having this one again.
