COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Fadlagring af de bedste øl giver noget helt særligt til smagsbilledet. Man får på een gang bidrag fra fadet og dets forhistorie - og fra alle de processer der foregår når øllet gemmes. Vore egetræsfade har gemt på portvin tidligere - nu bidrager de så positivt til vores barleywine. Imagine er en fantastisk alsidg øl. Den kan bruges både som “nydeøl” og som øllet til maden. Men husk at drikke vand til! Øl i den kategori skal behandles som en god vin - og hvem kunne drømme om at drikke vin til mad, uden at der er en vandkaraffel på bordet. Kun vandaler! Imagine er godt humlet med aromatiske humle og tilmed tørhumlet i fadene. Så kan man have både masser af maltkarakter og humlebitterhed på een gang. Den lange lagring på fadene har så lige taget “skarheden” fra humlen, så nu skal det hele helst gå op i en højere enhed
Indeholder: Bygmalte, humle, gær og vand

Forsberg_dk (258) - DENMARK - AUG 3, 2010
50 cl bottle, pours amber with a huge creamy head, lots of carbonation, aroma of malt and caramel, taste is sweet malt and toffee with a hint of alcohol, slightly bitter, fairly long finish, mouthfeel is a bit sticky, an enjoyable beer overall.

Defreni (2069) - Husum, DENMARK - AUG 6, 2010
Flaske: Brunrødlig øl med et fint tætsiddende skumhoved. Duft af blomsterhumle og meget kraftig appelsin. Smagen er hvinende sød med en dominerende smag af appelsin med en diskret bitterhed meget langt tilbage. De første mundfylde er himmelske, men det bliver lige en tand for meget i længden. Men dejligt med en så distinkt og anderledes øl.

JorisPPattyn (7363) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - AUG 22, 2010
Towering yellowish head over chestnut-coloured beer. US hops, dry wood, some alcohol, dry hopping seems indicated. Wood, cacaopowder, oak, alcohol. Really complex, yet balanced. Very slick/alcoholic/waroming; near viscous. Excellent Barley Wine. Another Hornbeer they can give me any day - if not in any quantity.

Bottle at KØ10. Mild cheesy aroma. Hazy brown colour. Small stable tan head. The flavour is quite sweet with a little alcohol. Good hop flavour, cheesy, grassy and nice.

Allen (2689) - SWITZERLAND - OCT 9, 2010
Bottled 50cl. Nicely remaining head which is taller than average for the style. Wonderfully inviting hoppy nose which is perfectly balanced by a luscious malt presence. Complex, full bodied with C-hops reminiscence. Flawlessly brewed and deeply pleasant.

Pinball (9727) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - NOV 24, 2010
Bottle. Clear red amber, huge smooth beige head. Looks awesome. You know those beers that You can smell even thoigh the glass is 40cm away from You? This is that kind of beer.Yummy. arma of flowers, pine "american" hopped, wood, sweet malts. aroma is more like a double-ipa on wood than what i’d expect for a barley wine. Flavor is sweet malty, good spicy and flowery hop balance, wood. Quite a woody and malty barley wine, with lotts of bitterhoppy balance, as well as some sweeter flowery notes, almost honey. The sweeter flowery notes are partly from the port wine barrel, some port wine flavor too. complex beer as it takes flavors from many things. Nice!.

from erzbierschof.ch - cloudy reddish-brown in colour and with a solid foamy beige head; nice lacework; hoppy aroma of fresh apples, cream and caramel; full-bodied and with a subtle but fair carbonation, creamy palate, mainly sweet and decently bitter; slightly dry hoppy fruity finish with solid malty tones

fiulijn (12360) - Malmö, DENMARK - AUG 28, 2011
Draught at The Green Lion Inn, Malmö
Hazy amber color. The aroma is a bit cheesy, yeasty, moldy. Good body strength, round; sweet caramel and flavor; more than the expected oak and vanilla, I get cream and cheese rinds. Well, I like sweet and malty beers, but this one is surely weird.
