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.

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.

Pia7501 (8) - DENMARK - MAY 22, 2008 does not count
Endnu en øl fra min svoger. En ældre flaske som måske kunne være mere frisk. uklar mørk gylden farve, men et nydelift skum. Tydelige dufte af frugt og blomst, og en sød lang bitter eftersmag.

Christian (8043) - Odense, DENMARK - APR 4, 2008
Cloudy dark amber with a big frothy off-white head. Malt and biscuit, some figs, some port in the aroma. Sweet and malty flavour with some fruit and some warming alcohol. A very fine barley wine, but with no stand out features.

(BBE 2/08) Dark coppery colored with cloudy appearance. Little yellow head. BW aroma with raisins and strong sweetness, some caramel and mild cardboard also here with mild alcohol. Medium bodied. Flavor is weird with overly sweet caramel and some unclean cardboard, raisins and glue here also with some added sugar, nothing like very good.
