May 31, 2006 A black slush beer which gives it ice chunks sitting in the glass with the beer around it - and absolutely no head. The aroma is very vagely sweet - but too light - probably due to the low serving temperature. While the flavor is interesting, since it is like iced coffee - quite nice, and I believe quite refreshing in the sun on a hot summer day.<br />Earlier Rating: 5/15/2003 Total Score: 2.6<br />A black beer with a light brown head. The aroma is slightly smoked and slightly sweet. The flavor though is a boring flat stout flavor - next to no flavor.

May 22, 2006 Updated: May 31, 2007(Slushed) As "Refsvindinge Slush Ice Beer" Completely black and opaque with a small, off-white head. Distinct burned nose. Medium-bodied with marked, burned coffeeish accents and a distinct sweetness. No bitterness. Hard to take the slush thing seriously, but actually this beer is quite delicate. The brewer calls this a Double Chocolate Stout. 7/3/6/2/12=3 190506<br />Earlier Rating: 8/20/2005 Total Score: 2.9<br />(Bottle 33 cl) Voted Best New Beer 2003. Brewer John once told me that the label - drawn by his daughter - depicts the shape of his wife as she looked 20 years ago... <br />
Completely pitch black, very small head and the typical Refsvindinge lack of carbonation. Rather burned malty character with a good bitterness. A fine quencher. 080804

Dark black. Fatty chocolate aroma. Sweet and mild, overpoweringly discrete. All that remains is a vague note of chocolate wrapped up in cotton.

Oct 19, 2007 33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown, almost black. Has a light brown and dense head, quickly collapsing into a little lacing head. Roasted malt aroma with a very minor citrus fruity note. Roasted malt flavour with a mild chocolate smoothness. Has a minor metallic note. Ends mellow and smooth roasted malty, only a very mild bitterness.

Oct 12, 2005 Very dark brown. Cheap coffee and cheaper chocolate aroma, like a liquid Coffee Crisp. Straightforward palate is quite fudgey, with chocolate undertones. The finish is rather thin, allowing some nuttiness to show through. Lacks the roast and hop bitterness of a true stout, and the thinness belies any attempt to appreciate it as a porter. I have a soft spot for farmhouse breweries, so I really wanted to like it, but this just doesn’t make the grade.
