Ordum Kraken
Stout 5 º
This English IPA presents a unique, malt-forward character that leans into traditional British depth. The pour reveals a dark complexion with deep amber reflections and brilliant clarity. The aroma is characterized by distinctively toasty malt and moderate yeast esters, complemented by subtle earthy and floral English hops. On the palate, a foundation of caramel and toffee provides a smooth, sweet base that carries through to a mellow finish. In contrast to more aggressive versions of the style, the bitterness here is subtle and refined. A distinctive oily texture and flat carbonation create a smooth, pleasant mouthfeel that emphasizes the rich, toasty profile.
Appearance. Dark amber to deep copper (approx. 12–14 SRM) with brilliant clarity and noticeable amber reflections. Head is off-white, moderate in size, with fair retention.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring lightly toasted malt and bread crust. Yeast-derived esters are present alongside low to moderate hop aromas of spice and dried flowers. Subtle notes of caramel and toffee emerge as it warms.
Taste. Initial malt impressions of caramel, toffee, and light toast dominate the palate. Hop flavor is moderate with earthy and floral notes. Bitterness is low to moderate, providing a soft balance rather than an assertive bite. The finish is smooth and medium-dry with a pleasant, lingering toasty aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a distinctive oily, slick texture. Carbonation is low to flat. Smooth and approachable with no perceptible alcohol warmth or hop-derived astringency.
