Dark Ale 5 º 23 IBU

Nibe Bryghus

Styrbord is a complex British Brown Ale that draws inspiration from Scottish traditions, offering a profile deeper than its style usually suggests. The foundation of Munich malt and caramel malt provides a rich toffee and bready sweetness, while the subtle inclusion of Smoked malt and dark roasted grains introduces delicate whispers of coffee and chocolate without heavy roastiness. Northern Brewer hops provide a sturdy base of bitterness, which is elevated by the distinctive peach and citrus notes of Amarillo hops. This creates a refined balance between dark malt complexity and vibrant American hop aromatics, resulting in a sophisticated, multi-layered ale.

Appearance. Dark reddish-brown color (18-22 SRM). Clear with a moderate, light-tan head that exhibits fair retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Prominent toffee and caramel sweetness from the caramel malt, accompanied by subtle earthy notes from Northern Brewer and bright peach and citrus from Amarillo. Very faint wisps of wood smoke and milk chocolate are present, alongside low fruity esters.

Taste. Initial impression is malt-forward with immediate caramel and nutty toffee. Rich Munich malt breadiness follows, accented by light coffee and dark chocolate. A hint of savory smoke adds depth. Hop flavor features distinctive peach and citrus with an earthy backbone. Medium bitterness provides balance, leading to a medium-dry finish with lingering notes of citrus zest and toasted nuts.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Provides a subtle hint of alcohol warmth and a lightly creamy texture from the specialty malts. No astringency.
