An Ølfabrikken guest brew. We have invited one of our colleagues to come by and do any brew he or she would like.
ØLFABRIKKEN MIKES BARLEYWINE has been created by American brewer and beer connoisseur Mike Murphy, who wanted to brew one of the (in)famous styles from his homeland. This has resulted in a strong and assertively bitter ale (90+ IBU's) dominated by Cascade, Chinook and Centennial hops, but still with enough sweetness to counter the hops. A bit of roasted barley provides depth and complexity to this truly unique brew. Mikes Barleywine is, of course, unpasteurized, unfiltered and bottle conditioned like all of our beers.
Beer Ratings and Reviews:
[1] Review by E from Spring Mountain, PA, USA who has tried this beer once. (10/9/2006 7:47:24 AM)
"[Bottled 11/05] Poured a brownish red color, with a large, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus fruits, caramel malts, vanilla, tobacco, tropical fruits, figs, and raisins. Taste of more citrus fruits, caramel malts, some vanilla, with dried fruits, and faint rummy alcohol in the finish."
