Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6

Dark brown, with a reddish hue; medium yellow-brown head. Grainy, malty nose (dark malts), and dark fruit, dried dates, and dark freshly-baked bread, yeasty. Bitterish-burnt, nearly stout-like sourness (reminds me somehow of ergot infected rye - by God hope I’m wrong) at first. Quite malty, and again bready. Poorer, more unidimensional than the nose indicated. Medium bodied, bit caramel-like, certain slickness. A bit unidimensional, after all. Like something a midwife would bestow on lactating mothers... unless that ergotamine thing...

Bottle. Dark, nut-brown colour, small head. Roasted, sweet, slightly metallic aroma. Roasted, slightly sweet flavour without much aftertaste. Pleasant enough, but not a very challenging beer.

(500 ml bottle, bought in Denmark. ABV was 6.0%). Very dark reddish brown colour, moderate tan head. Moderate coffee aroma. Flavour and aftertaste is lightly roasted coffee and wet cardboard with a hint of damp basement and catpiss. I’m not particularly fond of wet cardboard and catpiss. I’d probably still prefer this beer to Vestfyen’s pilsener, but that doesn’t take much. As far as stout goes, there are better alternatives.

Vestfyen gets points for trying, but although this might be their best beer, it’s nothing out of the ordinary. And at the price there are many beers I’d rather drink. And ordinary stout with no personality.

Dark red-brown beer. It has an unpleasant cardboard aroma and an odd, but weak flavour. A little hop bitterness. If this is really Ale No. 16, something went wrong between the cask and the bottle.

Bottled. It looks fine and the aroma is average malty. The flavour is very ordinary, sweet and thin and has that cheap cardboard note. Considering the other ratings, maybe the problem is in the bottling?

Yellow with flowery aroma. Thin but refreshing summer beer experiment from Vestfyen a few years ago.

A red brown beer with a small head. The aroma is very light; sweet and with notes of bread. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of roasted bread before a dry hoppy end sets in. An OK beer but nothing special.
