A touch og orange in the aroma, nice off-white mostly lasting head, It tastes a bit like liquerous. A very good beer.

Bottle 0,5 L. Excellent creamy white head. Fully lasting. Dark brown colour. Moderate malty aroma with burnt coffee. The burned aroma carries on in taste. Long finish, and soft carbonated. A nice beer.

Almost black in colour. Has a very smokey smell. Has a smooth taste of bacon and tar, A long smookey aftertaste. Very good.

Dark straw colour with great head and low visible carbonation. Light, fresh smokey aroma with bready malts. Light body. Hints of malt and a light beech smokiness. The smoke here is the dominant characteristic, but the beer is fairly light overall so it is not a dominating characteristic. I like the balance here. A rauchbier to drink all night.

Very dark brown. Cheap coffee and cheaper chocolate aroma, like a liquid Coffee Crisp. Straightforward palate is quite fudgey, with chocolate undertones. The finish is rather thin, allowing some nuttiness to show through. Lacks the roast and hop bitterness of a true stout, and the thinness belies any attempt to appreciate it as a porter. I have a soft spot for farmhouse breweries, so I really wanted to like it, but this just doesn’t make the grade.

Medium brown colour with thick mocha head. Unusual aroma captures rye bread, plums, toffee, hvidtol-like sugary maltiness and tangerines. Soft, creamy body. Sweet malts - rich as a malta but throwing off toffee, molasses and brown sugar notes. The esters are more subdued but still come through with plum accents. The finish is sweet if a shade watery. Fairly simplistic palate, but unusual. I’d drink it again.

500 ml bottle, bought in Denmark. An ale based on pilsener malts, with artificial colouring, hmmm? Filtered and pasteurised. Pours with a beautiful chestnut colour, with a good creamy tan head. Nice malty aroma with notes of caramel, oak and dried fruits, hints of roastiness and tobacco. Flavour is malty sweet with caramel, one-dimensional, minimal bitterness. Smooth and mellow, I expected something better than this.

Bottled at RBESG. Golden colour. Sweet and fruity, champagnelike and perfumy. The mouthfeel is clean and sparkling, and it has light-medium body with notes of caramel. Some lactic acidity finishes it off. Refsvindinge’s beers are always unpredictable.

Bottled at RBESG. Hazy bronze colour. Beechwood smokey nose. Sweet and malty with some licorice and tar. The mouthfeel is too clean and bold. Short finish.
