Refsvindinge Skibsøl

(Bottle, Ölbaren, 25 July 2008) Black colour with creamy, pale brown head. Smokey, peaty, malty nose with notes of freshly smoked malt and asphalt. Malty, smokey taste with heavily roasted and smoked grain, chocolate, dark rye bread and loads of tar. Low bitterness, thin body, just smoke and tar. Very interesting beer and quite nice as well.

Shared by MaxxDaddy. Wow. This is an interesting beer. This wins no doubt for the combination of best aroma imaginable and absolutely terrible flavor. The aroma was so pure, so richly campfire and smokey that it was like actually sitting out there in the forest on a clear night burning a big fire and cooking up some of whatever. Cigars, rauchmalt, and everything amazing about smoke. And yet, your pour it into your mouth, and it is an acrid, flavorless mess, highlighting nothing but astringent, bitter burning. Such contrast I have never seen before in a beer. A 3.5 feels high for an overall rating but that is based purely on the aroma alone, something so heavenly that I wish I’ll have a chance to encounter it again.

Shared by MaxxDaddy, never thought I would come across this and it was an experience like no other. Pours with a small tan head a a very dark clear brown body. Aroma delivers as promised, "pow in the kisser" smokiness. the smoke is deep, woody, lightly sweet and very awesome. Its just all smoke. Taste however is exactly the opposite. has no flavor. Its just like water, which I guess makes it super easy to keep drinking. All aroma of a beer with no flavor. But I could keep smelling this for hours.

Bottle. Pours pitch black with a smal head. Smoky raosty aroma. Watery flavour of smoke and lots of it.

Bottle. black colour with small creamy light brown mostly lasting head. Smokey aroma and flavor.
