COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our 100th batch, brewed for the enjoyment of the brewers, but popular demand forced us to release it commercially. Most enjoyable in a comfortable chair in front of a roaring fire.

Recommended serving temperature 16°C/61°F Ingredients: Maris Otter, wheat, and chocolate malt; Columbus, Chinook, and Centennial hops; English ale yeast, and our local Grimstad water.

23,5°P, 80 IBU, 10% ABV.

Editor’s note: Even though the label says "Barley Wine" in the States, the brewery usually says it’s brewed to be an IIPA. The American label was supposedly a glitch. In Europe it’s sold as an IIPA. But to save the admin crew some time dealing with user feedback, it’s listed as a Barley Wine.

MAP (1133) - Lakewood, Ohio, USA - JUN 14, 2010
Quite a heady beer. Hazy amber color with a thick thick thick top of creamy foam above. Aroma is a very woody spice, lots of notes of oak, earth, ginger, allspice, coriander, and pepper. Flavor is clean, lots of wood/earthy notes mixing well with some acidic hop characters.

BitchPls (239) - FINLAND - MAY 12, 2013
Cola black beer with a huge beige head. Looks delicious! Very fruity and sweet, hoppy aroma of ripe peaches and other more exotic aromas. Body is soft, full and round. Lovely sweetness combined with a grape fruity bitterness. Lots of caramel, raisins, sherry and some roasted coffee. Some warming alcohol as well but is well hidden in the taste. What a great beer even if this is not fresh (brewed 100811 and opened 120513). Truly a master piece and a piece of art!

Pours a dark cloudy brown with a small beige head. Aroma is malt, caramel, fruits and woody notes. Taste is medium sweet leading to a huge finish of bitterness. Pretty damn good.

fletchfighters (817) - AUSTRALIA - MAY 10, 2013
500 ml bottle Best before 16.8.16 Dark brown with ruby highlights. Head is a thick collar, light brown in color. Lots of spotty lacing with this and thick ABV legs. Hops have held up well. Some nice pine notes with backing strawberry and plum jam notes. Good caramel notes as well. Burnt pine, grapefruit, caramel and jam. Has held up quite well and still holds elements of the DIPA quality. Low carbonation, big feel. Not very sticky or sweet. Lots of pine and hop finish. Workable now, needs more to really be a BW though

Draft - Piney and sweet malts. Opaque mahogany with a thin off white head. Pine, booze, some dark fruit and a nice bitterness. Medium body and a long finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

RichardGretton (4018) - Leicestershire, ENGLAND - MAY 6, 2013
Bottle. Blackish brown beer with a strong off white head. The aroma is roasted but not heavily, and the flavour is deeply roasted and bitter with some vinous qualities. Overall a really strong tasting imperial stout like beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Advocate_Ames (225) - Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 5, 2013
The carbonation gives off a nice thin foam head. As for color it is dark brown with sediment floating around. The aroma is of toffee, hops, and carmel malts. The flavor is of bitter hops, molasses, toffee, carmel, and malts. The finish is bitter dry with a sweet after taste to balance things. Overall #100 is a fine drink to knock back.

Bought this bottle at Brewberry in Paris over holidays 2012. Finally opening it May 2013 in Leuven. Just a big malty bomb of a beer. Pours dark brown and pretty much opaque. Holds head great. Sweet molasses aroma with great depth. Flavor is warm and rich and meaty. Actually super bitter as well, which is maybe a bit unexpected from the aroma (not much hop presence there). Strange note of salt or soy sauce to it that could present interesting pairing opportunities. Mouthfeel is sticky and thick as you’d expect.

Pours a dark motoroil like body with about a one finger brown head that slowly dissipates. Aroma of dark fruits and coffee. full bodied and a bit porter like in the style, but with a more clear taste of dark fruits, molasses, coffee, toffee and pine. Great beer and rather hoppy as well . The alchohol is extremely well integrated. A lovely beer that gets better for every time I try it. Unlike Belgian quads, this is dry and lovely. A winner.
