Commercial Description:
Danish: Inspirationen kommer fra skibsøl, der opstod omkring slutningen af 1400-tallet, da man ombord på flådens skibe havde behov for øl med god holdbarhed. Det var også en nødvendighed, at sømændene kunne passe deres arbejde forsvarligt, derfor havde skibsøl ringe alkoholstyrke. For holdbarhedens skyld bryggede man på røgmalt, og den kraftige smag af tovværk og røget tjære tiltaler i dag de færreste, derfor uddøde den specielle øl stort set. Det en en tør, frisk øl brygget på pilsnermalt, farvemalt og røgmalt og med en underliggende tone af humle. Holbæk Havnebryg er sort som natten og har en let smag af lakrids og en pikant - men ikke dominerende -eftersmag af røgmalt. Det er en øl, der er velegnet til kraftige kødretter, ligesom det er en anderledes og dejlig tørstslukker.

English: The inspiration for this beer comes from the Danish "skibsøl", a smoked style from the 15th century. The style was created when the Danish navy needed a beer with a long storage life. It was also necessary for the sailors to be able to do their job, so the beer had a low alcohol volume. Because a long storage life was needed, smoked malts was used and the powerful flavour of rope and smoked tar does not appeal to many today which caused this special beer style to become almost extinct. It is a dry, fresh beer brewed with pilsner-, colour- and smoked malts with an underlying note of hops. Holbæk Havnebryg is black as the night and has a light flavour of liquorice with a subtle whiff of smoked malt. It is a beer that goes well with strong meat dishes as well as being a nice drink to put out your thirst.

Partyfass. Pours a darkbrown/black colour with an off-white head. Roasted malty smokey aroma. Sweet roasted malty flavor with some smokey hints. Some hints of chocolate in the flavor aswell. Fruity malty finish.

An unclear opaque brown beer with a huge lazing orange-brown head. The aroma is of smoke and burnt plastic on a sweet rotten meat back ground, but in a good way. The flavor has light notes of burnt plastic and smoke on a slightly acidic roasted malty back ground, but also with a boring chocolate note. The end has a light note of vegetables in the dry and bitter end. If I want a Skibsøl, I rather want the one from Refsvindinge - but I don’t know which is closest style wise.

Partyfass. Hazy dark brown coloured with a rather large head. Kinda artificial with notes of rubber, metal and cardboard. Thin and uninteresting.

Partyfaß. Dark brown coloured. Unpleasant aroma of burnt plastic and rubber. Weak burnt flavour. Light bodied. Watery. Unbalanced and unclean.
