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.

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.

Bottle shared by fonefan on 8/28/09: Transparent copper amber with a well-lacing froth of off-white head. Aroma of sweet sugary caramel malt and some light toffee and fruity notes. Starts with good fullness and sweet toasty caramel maltiness with a touch of piny bittering hops before a slightly drier toasty mildly warming finish. A fairly sweet barleywine with decent complexity.

Jaksmart (354) - Aalborg, DENMARK - MAY 23, 2010
Pours a dark red, luminescent colour, with a light off-white collar of head. Very fruity and sweet, malty aroma. Lots of berries, grapes, honey, sugar, warming alcohol along with some light hints of hops. Taste of very sweet malts, fruits, berries, lemon, warming alcohol and a pleasantly balanced hop finish. Oily palate, large body, low-medium carbonation. Medium-long duration. Very nice.

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.

oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - JUN 19, 2010
Bottled. Deep ambery ruby colour, small beige head. Aroma is bready malts, sweet malts, alcohol and some fruityness. Flavour quite much the same. A bit of a mess of the aromas in the flavour, quite the same as in the aroma, but quite balanced "mess",

Maria (7805) - Thisted, DENMARK - MAY 15, 2007
Københavnske Øldage 07. Draught/cold. The color is very beautiful red-golden and the head is creamy. The aroma is like fresh dough and the mouthfeel is oily. The flavour has light sweetness, notes of dark fruit, rowan berries, roasted malt, caramel and a citrussy bitterness. It’s OK, but not outstanding. 2099
