A nasty bottle to pour from, nothing happens at first and the suddenly it pours out - reminds me of a glass bottle of Heinz. The color is red and it has a nice orange head. The aroma is lightly malty with hints of berries and nuts. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, but somewhat artificial and sour - it makes me wonder if corn has been used, though the label doesn’t state it. The body is smooth, though a little sticky.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, amber golden with a small head. Very fruity aroma. Quite malty with an underlying sweetness and fruity notes. Has the typical Vestfyen house character that I cannot really describe. 221005

A dark red-brown beer with a nice brown head. The aroma is on the light side with roasted notes of nuts and malt. The flavor is sweet and quite roasted with notes of bread, nuts, caramel, brown sugar, as well as some grassy hoppy notes. The end is dry and slightly bitter, but the body is thin. I’m impressed how thin this beer is for a 6% ABV beer - it must be the added brown sugar - it’s too bad, for with a little more body, this could be very nice, but then the price ofcourse will rise, and then the target market is not met, since it then can’t be sold thru its designated sales channel, which is Aldi.

An amber beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and sirup and corn. The flavor is sweet with caramel dominating, but with notes of metal and sirup and corn lying in the background. In the beginning the mouthfeel is watery, but then You can feel the alcohol, so it gets thicker while in your mouth, and ends up with a dry alcoholic note on Your palate.

A caramel colored beer with a fine, but disappearing, beige head. The aroma is quite sweet with notes of caramel, corn, and hints of hops. The flavor is malty with notes of straw, caramel, corn, slight spiciness, and a dry hoppy end. While the body is thin.

Bottled. Mahogany colour, creamy head. Aroma of sweat and dried apricots. Sweet, roasty and very fruity. Medium bodied. Mellow, soapy mouthfeel. Some sweet wort flavours lead up to a syrupy finish.

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark brown with a reddish glow and a beige head. Malty, soft and smooth with a light sweetish touch. Not at all a bad brew. Wonder if this is yet another Vestfyen copy of a Refsvindinge beer - the original being "Mors Stout". 090105

(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful, clear amber coloured beer with an impressively tall, light beige head. Pronounced sweetness (brewing syrup added) very full body balanced by a marked bitterness in the finish. Licorice is added to this. A very harmonious Christmas beer, actually this is exactly how I would expect a Danish beer of this style to be. Well done Vestfyen - and nice to see what you can really achieve if you care to. 261104

(Bottle 50 cl) Very dark if not completely black, with a small brownish head. Surprisingly ligh-bodied and easily drinkable. Weak notes of coffee and a slightly roasted character. Sort of a Stout Light. 130904
