Commercial Description:
En krydsning mellem barley wine og stærk belgisk ale. Denne øl har sit forbillede i en barleywine kaldet Celebration Vintage. Tårnhøjt Skum er brygget på Søgaards Bryghus sammen med bestyrelsen i Danske Ølentusiasters lokalafdeling Aalborg. Aalborg-tårnet, som er et af byens vartegn, er sammen med Danske Ølentusiasters hilsen "HØJT SKUM" grundlag for øllets navn. Denne øl har bedst af at blive gemt i kælderen, indtil den rigtige lejlighed indtræffer. For eksempel fejring af 10-års dagen for stiftelsen af foreningen Danske Ølentusiaster på Øllets Dag den 6. september 2008. Malt: Pilsner, Cara 120, Munchener M15, Special B. Humle: Zeus, Chinook, East Kent Goldings, Cascade. Mørkt rørsukker. Gær: T-58. Gæret i åbne gæringskar og lageret på Whiskyfad.

Bottle. [thank you, faroeviking, shared @ Plan B]
Pours a muddy pale reddish brown. The head disappears quickly and is really nothing to speak of. Aroma is great, and quite the surprise. Oak, biscuits, Belgian sugars, toffee and caramel. Very full and extremely creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is nice and complex; oak, toffee and a very powerful base of raisins at the end. This is really an impressively nice brew. The oak is powerfully present in especially aroma and aftertaste, but the centre allows for great flavours of dried fruits to come to the fore.

No head, deep red-chestnut colour. Whisky jumping out of the glass, sugared orange rind, hoppy. VERY special taste, like a mild yellow curry sauce, creamy, fruity, biiterish and incited with a little splash of whisky 100% in balance. Very oily, slick, voluptuous MF. Superbly original, wow Many thanks to the people of Danske Ølentusiaster that had the good sense to carry this one along

Bottled. Ambery brown colour with no head. Aroma is caramel, wood and some mild oaky notes as well as vanilla and some slight alcohol. Flavour is caramel, oak, sweet malts, some fruits, fudge and vanilla. All in a nice balance. Alcohol gives a nice warming touch.

Bottled. Redish-copper colour with very low head. Extremely fruity and yeasty with lots of hops in aroma. Flavour is spicey phenolic with chocolate and menthol, with good backup from whiskey, and lasts very long. It seems very delicate and does not go overboard. Medium bodied.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown colour. Sweet aroma with toasted malt, oak, caramel and dark fruits. Very good mouthfeel. The flavour has a good toasted maltiness with yeast, dark fruits, plenty of oak, caramel and hops. Long lasting toasty oak finish.
