Day 20 of the 2018 Advent calendar.
A mighty fine stout it is; thick and dark. Sweet, and with a brown creamy head.
Chocolate and biscuits plus a neat yeast flavor. Very unique.

330ml bottle - day 20 of the 2018 Craft Beer Advent Calendar, and a collaboration with Danish brewer Beer Here. They have created a 'Nordic Farmhouse Stout'.
This beer pours a solid black abyss, with the scantest of amber basal edges, and three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly mocha brown head, which leaves some splendid chain link fence pattern lace around the glass as it slowly fades away.
It smells of rich dark chocolate, lightly roasted, bready and doughy caramel malt, some indistinctly fruity yeastiness, day-old coffee grounds, a subtle licorice root spiciness, and very, very tame earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and bready caramel malt, a bit of biscuity toffee, medium cocoa powder, faint wet char, baked red apples, some mild estery yeastiness, faint cafe-au-lait, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and herbal hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-pleasing frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, with perhaps a hint of alcohol ingress licking its menacing lips at this particular point in the game. It finishes off-dry, the toasty malt, cocoa, and muddled spicy essences presiding.
Overall - this certainly comes across as a well-made version of the style, with a few new twists (around here, anyway). Full of flavour, and surprisingly easy to toss back, as the 21-proof booze factor is nigh on invisible. Great stuff!
