COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A new beer in Lervig Aktiebryggeri’s range "Brewer’s Reserve", the creation of Lervig’s head brewer Mike Murphy. Masse malt pluss humle og ølgjær gjør ekte Stavanger-vann om til utsøkt barley wine! Fem måneders lagring i bourbon-tønner gir smaken et snev av vanilje, bourbon og eik. Barley Wine har en alkoholprosent på 10 og er perfekt til ost eller som rent dessert-øl. Nyt hver munnfull med andakt - det er kun laget 800 liter. Hops: East Kent Goldings. Recommended serving temperature 10-12 degrees C.

omhper (17472) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUN 10, 2011
Draught at Københavnske Øldage 2011. Almost clear nut brown, no head. Heavy bourbon aroma. Sweet and caramelly. The strong bourbon flavours go well with the caramelly, and seems to dry it out a little - which is needed. Mild peppery finish with fatty notes. The bourbon barreling did really good to this.

yngwie (10760) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - OCT 28, 2011
Bottle, at Ølfestival 2011. A clear, copper colored beer with a small, beige head. Alcohol, dried fruits, caramel and some hoppyness on the nose. Lightly bourbon-ish. The flavor has a nice bitterness towards the warming and sweet finish. In the beginning there’s caramel maltyness, dried fruits, alcohol and some bourbon. Full-bodied, almost sticky, yet smooth, and quite warming. Overall, too warming, but a decent beer anyway. 110527
