Jacobsen Prøvebryg no. 2 - Barley Wine

Brewed by Husbryggeriet Jacobsen (Carlsberg)
Style: Barley Wine
Valby, Denmark

Draught at EsBF09. Buttery aroma. Cloudy red brown colour. The flavour is buttery and toffeeish. A bit of alcohol, but it tastes of less than it really is. An experiment which I am sure will not be continued.

It’s red-brown with a very small head. The aroma has notes of raisin, caramel and sourness from the added lacto. The flavor is sweet and sour/tart (from the lacto) and it has notes of raisin, dry citrus and caramel – perhaps not the most tasty test-brew, but interesting indeed.

DRaught at Jydske Øldage. Frothy white fair mostly deminishing head. Amber colour. Light malty and hoppy aroma. Moderate bitter very oxidised flavor. Average finish. Oily palate.

Draught. The Jacobsen Vintage 1 Steel Aged from the spring of 2008 with lactobacillus. Cloudy deep amber brown colour. Quite sweet vinious malty sour dark fruity aroma. Good sticky mouthfeel. Flavour: very sweet, vinious with dark fruits, strange sourness and alcohol.

Tap @ Esbjerg Festival, 2009. Pours dark amber with no head. Bread, ryebread, caramel and some tart fruit. Sticky and flat carbonation. Tart vomit and berries. Hmmh

Sample at Esbjerg Beerfestival. Nice head with good duration. Color is brown. Aroma and taste are roast malt, sour vinegar and fruits.

Tap @ Ølfestival, Esbjerg, 2009.
Pours muddy pale brown with no head. Aroma has yoghurt, blackberries, a touch of malt. Low, but prickly carbonation, oily fat mouthfeel. Soft flavour, extremely sweet, and still very tart with lots of lactose. Light vinious. Quite unbalanced.
