It’s a Barley Wine (10.5%), only 37,5 cl. 200 bottles have been aged in fresh swedish oak barrels, and 400 bottles have been aged in fresh french oak barrels. There will be a Jacobsen Vintage No. 2 in 2009 and Jacobsen Vintage No. 3 in 2010, costing respectively 2009 and 2010 danish kroner.
Thats all very well it selling beer for $400, however nothing from carlsberg shows why it costs so much? I mean for it to cost that much it must be made with hand picked barley roasted over a perfect fire then boiled in an old copper fired by coal. Then aged in 20 different 100yr old congac barrels or something. You cant just place a figure on beer and expect people to go well if it costs that much then it must be worth it. Theres no wine or port i can think of thats worth that kind of money thats made these days, even very speciallised spirits need to be aged for a long time to be worth anything like this amount.
Its a gimic but if they’re wanting to tap into the craft beer market bringing out a $400 bottle of beer sure aint going to do it.
