826 Hornbeer Caribbean Rumstout Denmark Imperial Stout 3.7

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

Cask at Copenhagen Beer Festival, gravity dispense. Black colour, no head nor carbonation. Strong aroma of rum and oak / vanilla. The flavour is quite oaky, again with strong notes of rum and vanilla. Quite enjoyable, and would no doubt be better with a little carbonation.

827 Hornbeer Orker Du Heller Ikke Midtfyn? Denmark Imperial IPA 3.7

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

At Copenhagen Beer Festival. Amber colour, moderate off-white head. Very hoppy and quite complex aroma. Very hoppy flavour too, naturally with a substantial bitterness, but not too extreme.

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

832 Amager Fru Frederiksen Denmark Stout 4.1

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

At Copenhagen Beer Festival. Pitch black colour. Much the same as Hr. Frederiksen, only a little sweeter, less alcoholic and slightly less bitter. Roasty coffee notes dominant in both aroma and flavour, also notes of chocolate and vanilla. Smooth and very enjoyable.

833 Amager Rugporter Denmark Rye Beer 3.6

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

At Copenhagen Beer Festival. Black colour. Moderate roasty (coffee) notes in both aroma and flavour, hints of rye bread. Drinkable, absolutely nothing wrong with it, but as this is Amager, I expected something even better. BTW, we brewed a homebrew porter last year with exactly the same ratio of rye malts in it, and thought it was better than this. Did not taste them side by side, though - and we might have been slightly biased, or slightly drunk ...

834 Herslev Aspargesøl Denmark Spiced Beer 3.2

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 7

At Copenhagen Beer Festival. Cloudy golden colour. Aroma of asparagus! Flavour of citrus and asparagus, hints of cloves. A fun experiment, but I’m sorry - I’d rather have a bowl of asparagus soup with an "ordinary" wheat beer at the side.

835 Midtfyns Hoppy Monk Denmark Imperial IPA 3.6

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

At Copenhagen Beer Festival. Hazy golden colour, dominant American hops in both aroma and flavour, but not too extreme. The discrete notes of Belgian ale yeast do not keep this from being a recognizable Double IPA.

836 Skovlyst Kaptajn Olsen Denmark Spiced Beer 3.7

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

On tap at Copenhagen Beer Festival. Brewed with Cuban vintage rum, raisin syrup and bourbon vanilla. Chestnut colour, creamy off-white head. Strong and rich aroma of said ingredients, very nice. Rich mouthfeel. Distinct and fairly sweet flavour of rum-raisin. A nice change-of-pace beer.

837 Det Lille Bryggeri Indian Pale Ale Denmark IPA 3.6

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

Rerate, 500 ml bottle shared with OleR at Olympen, Oslo. ABV was 6.5%. Bottle conditioned, unfiltered and unpasteurised. Cloudy orange-brown colour, murky brown when the sediment is poured in. Moderate off-white head. Aroma of fruity, floral and piney American hops. Distinct hoppy flavour, piney, resinous and fruity, not too sharp. Quite decent. Original rating: At Copenhagen Beer Festival. Amber colour. Moderate aroma of American hops. Medium sweet flavour with distinct notes of American hops, becoming rather sharp in the finish. A fairly decent IPA.

839 Vestfyen Fyensk Denmark Smoked Ale 3.4

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

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.

840 Andrik Påske Denmark American Pale Ale 3.1

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

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.

841 Skands Blue Mountain Porter Denmark Porter 3.8

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

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.

842 Wintercoat India Gold IPA Denmark IPA 3.2

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

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.

843 Wintercoat Old Ale Denmark Old Ale 3.6

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

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.

844 Wintercoat Mols Øl Denmark Spiced Beer 3.3

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 7

At Copenhagen Beer Festival. Hazy brown colour. Aroma and flavour of smoke, wood, juniper and wild thyme. Might be said to be interesting, but not really great. More smoke than I expected.

845 Nørrebro Bryghus Pacific Pale Ale Denmark American Pale Ale 3.4

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

At Copenhagen Beer Festival, as Nørrebro Pacific Summer Ale. Amber colour. Moderate aroma of American hops (Vanguard, Ahtanum and Amarillo) Dry flavour, moderate hops again, with some piney and citrussy notes. Not remarkable.

Aroma: 9 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

On tap at Copenhagen Beer Festival. Red colour, pink head. Aroma and flavour of raspberries, but not sweet - quite dry and sour, actually. Refreshing to drink.

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

On tap at Copenhagen Beer Festival. Black colour, creamy head. Aroma and flavour of caramel and too much butterscotch, more than the usual roasty coffee notes. A bit disappointing.

850 Randers Redaktøren Denmark Belgian Strong Ale 3.2

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

At Copenhagen Beer Festival. Cloudy brown colour. One-dimensional malty sweet aroma and flavour, caramel and maybe a touch of chocolate. Lacks the complexity and spiciness I hoped for. Not a winner by me.
