COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Editor’s note: The brewery itself calls this beer a Barley Wine. But as it is bottom fermented we have labelled it a Doppelbock.

Barley Wine is a traditional English notation for vinous ales with high gravity and often high alcohol volume as well. This years red/brown Christmas ale from Bryggeriet Vestfyen is true to this tradition, but is bottom fermented though. The beer is a bit creamy, and the bitterness and sweetness is well balanced. This is partly because of the long maturation (9 months), which ensures that the bitterness from the hops (Norhtern brewer and Cascade) is perfectly integrated with the caramel malt. Forget all about wine for the Christmas dinner. Try the Christmas brew from Vestfyen instead.

Defreni (5538) - Husum, DENMARK - DEC 2, 2019
UPDATED: DEC 2, 2019 Flaske: På laaaaang hukommelse. Udelukket ratet da den daterer før min ratebeertid på min følelse. Grunden til ratingen er at jeg drak den aftenen inden min førstefødte blev født. Jeg stod på hospitalet pivdrukken. Mørk orange med lækkert skumhoved. Alkoholstærk uden synderlig humle. Blød cremet men kraftig aælkohol også i finishen. Ratet så høkt grundet ovennævnte omstændigheder.

Vintage. Pours a dark and copper beer with no head. The aroma is malt, sweetness, vinous, fruit, raisin and dried fruit. The flavor follows the nose with additional alcohol and notes of cardboard. The palate is sweetness with alcoholwarmth. Overall a good beer.

Bottle. huge thanks Faroeviking! Pours hazy dark reddish brown with a creamy off white head. Loads of caramel and dark ripe fruit, and barley wine like sweetness. Wow! This has really increased by cellaring. Long sweet ripe fruity finsih. Nice one!
