Sorten Muld is a monumental Imperial Stout that pours like liquid obsidian, capturing the richness of the earth from which its ingredients spring. At 10.9% ABV, it radiates a deep, complex aroma of bittersweet chocolate, espresso, and black licorice, layered over dark dried fruits like figs and raisins. The palate is an intense exploration of roasted grains, offering flavors of dark cocoa and charred toast, balanced by a firm, resinous bitterness. This heavy-bodied brew concludes with a smooth, velvety finish and a lingering, well-integrated alcohol warmth that reflects its contemplative and celebratory nature.
