Expert description of Thisted Bryghus Limfjordsporter

Limfjordsporter from Thisted Bryghus is an almost black bottom-fermented porter with a creamy light-brown head. The brewery, one of Denmark's oldest and most forward-thinking, combines traditional porter brewing with a distinct smoky character in this beer, adding an extra dimension beyond the typical roasted malt profile.

The taste is wonderfully complex, dominated by liquorice, smoke, roasted barley and malt sweetness, nicely balanced by a pronounced hop bitterness. It is a porter with substance, built for slow enjoyment and ideally paired with hearty winter dishes.
