8.6/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 9 Flavor 9 Texture 7 Overall 9
Bottle from Havnens Vin Og Tobakhus. Pours opaque black with no head. Aroma is intense dark malt, toffee, syrup, molasses, sweet liquorice, sour cherries, cherry marmalade, vanilla, dark rum, and oak barrels. Taste is very sweet, medium bitter, light acidic and light to medium salty. Body is creamy with faint carbonation. Finish is long and balanced sweet and bitter with notes of malt, liquorice, cocoa, toffee, fresh cherries, cherry marmalade, vanilla, oak, dark rum, and hints of Vegemite. Very rich and complex but nicely balanced.
Appearance: +1 for the nice bottle (kabel and wax)

Very dark brown with a thin, fizzy beige head that dissipates quickly. Loads of vanilla, dark berries, nougat, chocolate, dark malts, toffee, molasses. Body is oily and medium thick. Finish is very sweet with more nougat and vanilla. The rum is lost among the other notes. Medicinal.

Clear golden with a white head. Big bitter hops, pale toasted malts, bright spice, light citrus, zesty noble notes. Medium bodied. Finish is bright with a crispy snap. Sharp. Highly enjoyable.

Pours pale, light straw, with thin white head. (I'd say double pale ale xD)
Nose is light, maybe corn, with a hint of malt. Flavor is hidden, maybe some bread and biscuits.
Finish is short, faint, yeasty.

Pours hazy yellow, with medium, white, lasting head (with big bubbles 😍)
Nose is floral and hoppy, absolutely textbook DDH. Flavor is tropical fruit, hops, with a short, sweet finish. Maybe pineapple?
Medium carbonation.
