COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Barley Wine er ofte betegnelsen på den af bryggeriets øl, der har den højeste alkoholprocent. Dette er også tilfældet for Barley Wine fra Fur Bryghus. Vi har valgt at illustrere denne sjældne øltype med billedet af et af de mest sjældne fund på Fur: Et 30 cm langt kranie af en kæmpeskildpadde, fundet i 1957 af Fur Museums første leder Magne Breiner og opkaldt efter ham: "Eoasphargis Breneri". Der er tappet 3468 af denne Barley Wine. Kraftig humleoplevelse med vinøs varme og smag af mørk malt, karamel og anis.

English: Barley Wine is often a name for the beer with highest alcohol level of the brewery. This is also the case with Barley Wine from Fur Bryghus. We have chosen to illustrate this rare type of beer with the picture of one of the rarest finds on Fur.

It has been named after him "Eoasphargis Breneri". 3468 bottles of this Barley Wine has been made. Strong hop sensation with a vinous warmth and flavor of dark malt, caramel and anise.

fiulijn (10000) - Como, ITALY - OCT 17, 2008
Draught at Cockney Pub, Århus
Amber color. At times it reminds me the Withbread Gold Label, surely not one of my favorites, having just a oily and alcoholic caramel flavor and a quite strong bitterness; this one has also some vegetables in. 3 years ago I would have rated it higher, but today for me it’s almost booze.

Rune (4667) - Tromsø, NORWAY - OCT 5, 2008
500ml bottle bought at Gl. Strand Øl & Vin. Described as an extra strong pilsner. Golden brown body under a firm, off-white head quickly disappearing. Bread malt aroma. Medium to full palate, but still rather savourless, only brief hints of sweet, dried fruits. Overpowering alcohol (rating no. 1800) (hotel room, Hotel Danmark 19.09.2008).
