Sampled draught at Dansk Ølfestival.
Golden colour, clear, no head. Fruity, rounded dense and sweaty nose. Sweet with traces of apple and pleasant buckwheat character. Mellow mouthfeel, and sharp finish.

Amber color. Aroma of caramel, buckwheat, candi sugar, dark chocolate. Quite warming malt, caramel, chocolate taste, but with a light metallic touch, light oxydation. Would be better if a bit sweeter.

The aroma is dominated by caramel with roasted notes in the background - quite interesting for a Bock. The color is copper and it poures with a nice head which collapses quite fast. The flavor is very sweet with notes of caramel, roasted malt, and roasted bread, which gives way to alcohol, which prickles the tongue long after You swallow and leaves You with a nice aftertaste of alcohol and caramel. I really enjoy this beer, because it is quite complex for a Bock, but still has the strength and warmth of the type.

Black beer with a nice light brown head. Roasted aroma with a hint of sweet licorice. Watery flavour with a disappointing lack of bitterness. I had expected more.

The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel, bread, and an unrecognizable spice. The color is amber and it has a fine dense head. The flavor is malty sweet with caramel notes and bread notes and is rather dry - but it also has the same weird note that is in the aroma, is it the yeast? The body is thin for a 5.7% ABV. I must admit, that I am disappointed in this beer - Refsvindinge usually makes good beers, but this is a mistake.

Amber with no head. Malty aroma with a funny hint of metal. Flavour is watery and a bit on the sweet side. Not much aftertaste.

Honeyish malt and yeasty berrylike aroma (from english yeast?) Cloudy yellow, no head. Peppery unpleasant flavor - weird, it tastes a bit like they used the same yeast as in the ale no.16. Watery finish. This is not good - My last Wit was better as well :-)

Jet black, but seems clear as Coca-Cola; head is also as the cola-head: dark and short-lived. Tarrish nose - as in Lapsan Souchong tea, and smoked (Lapsan Oolong?). Thin mouthfeel is the first to strike whilst drinking, but then the smoked and indeed Chinese tea-like perfumes come in. First impression is tar-like, finish more like cigar ashes. Thin, but quite refreshing, even with the tar characteristics. Is this refermented in tarred pipes, as the Pilsner Urquell of bygone days? But here the layer is dissolved. laughing apart, I wish our tafelbierproducers ever produced anything similar. I'm impressed.

Bottled. Pale amber, near no head. Rounded and soft with buttery caramel character. Bold, clumsy malt profile leads to a sweaty finish. A beer with some personality, but also some flaws.
