Perhaps you sense it already, when the capsule is removed and the nose is added to the bottle - this "Stout" smells different than what you're used to. Indeed, we have dry hopped on late in the process with the noble American hops Nugget, Centennial and Cascade, which gives the floral notes that lay on top of the typical stout-characteristics of roasted malt and adds lightness and freshness.
In the glass the Sundby Stout pitch black, while the head is dense, light brown and almost cappuchinoagtigt creamy, while the tongue sense both malt sweetness and hints of bitter dark chocolate and English liquorice. Sweetness, however, challenged from the hard roasted malt and the split, and unmalted roasted barley, both of which help to give beer its burnt flavor. Sundby Stout is a classic "Stout", which nevertheless dares to be different and challenging.
