At Copenhagen Beer Festival. Dark ruby colour, nearly black. Moderate aroma of malts and caramel, with only modest roasty notes. The fairly refreshing flavour has some fruity notes, in addition to the moderate roasty notes. Nice and drinkable, but not very remarkable.

At Copenhagen Beer Festival. Hazy pale golden colour. Pleasant and fresh aroma of American (and New Zealand?) hops. The flavour has also notes of American hops, but not too much. Fruity, light bodied and extremely refreshing. The ultimate summer beer.

Sample from bottle, Copenhagen Beer Festival. Black colour. Intense aroma, roasty, vanilla, chocolate, a hint of fusel, oak. The flavour has much the same elements, the hint of fusel detracts a point or two, and the sweetness is bordering on "too much". But by all means, this is a craft beer well worth sampling.

Sample from bottle, Copenhagen Beer Festival. Hazy brown colour. Fruity aroma with notes of mild spices. The smooth and mellow flavour has also notes of fresh and dried fruits and mild spices, with a decent maltiness, while it is very lightly hopped. Maybe not a "big" beer, but truly enjoyable to drink, and definitely one I will buy next Christmas if I can find it.

At Copen hagen Beer Festival, as Vestfyen Fyensk Røgøl. With 100% smoked malts, whereof 50% barley and 50% wheat, I assume this must be pretty close to a traditional Grätzer? Cloudy golden colour. Smoky aroma, notes of smoked sausages. Refreshing wheaty and smoky flavour, light bodied. The hoppiness is not as distinct as promised, but sufficient.

On tap at Copenhagen Beer Festival. Cloudy deep golden to brown colour, very foamy head. The American hops (Willamette, Amarillo and Columbus) are present in both aroma and flavour, but very subdued. The aroma is moderate and slightly spicy. The moderately hoppy flavour has some strange sidenotes that may be the harbingers of of an early infection.

At Copenhagen Beer Festival. Dark brown colour. Both aroma and the medium sweet (or medium dry, if you like) flavour are dominated by coffee (Blue Mountain Java), but this is certainly not unpleasant, if you like good coffee.

At Copenhagen Beer Festival. Served too warm. Hazy golden colour. Fruity sweetish aroma. The flavour is very fruity, but far too sweet for an English IPA, and the bitterness is not impressive.

Cask at Copenhagen Beer Festival, gravity dispense. Amber colour. Malty aroma with some fruitiness. The fairly sweet flavour has a nice balance between the malts and hops, with some discrete roasty notes, and a moderate fruity acidity. Good beer.

At Copenhagen Beer Festival. Hazy golden colour, sparkling. Decent aroma of brettanomyces (sour fruit, farmhouse, horse blanket), but not extreme. The medium sour flavour has also the typical brettanomyces character, but fairly well balanced and not too extreme. Should work well as a beginner’s gueuze.
