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.

Muddy amber with a lasting off-white head. Bubblegum aroma with hints of iodine, oak and solvent. Sweet and yeasty flavour, some oak, vanilla, tannins present.

(Bottled) Slightly hazy, dark reddish amber with a very small head. Aroma of whisky oak barrel, vanilla, toffee, and some alcohol. Flavor is mostly oaky whisky barrel and caramely malt - somewhat like I&G Rum Cask Oak Aged. Medium-bodied, soft-carbonated palate. Very whisky-oaky and a bit thin, but hides the ABV very well.

Bottle, 9% at ÅBF08. Weak vanilla aroma. Good vanilla flavour. Cloudy dark red brown colour.

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

Bottle. Head almost non-existandt, just a thin fluffy light brown ring. Hazy orange red body. Aroma of coffee berries and hops plus a good deal of alcohol. Vineous berries hops flavor and notes of alcohol. Whisky? Well I could not taste it. Low carbonation. Long aftertaste.

Bottle at Ølfestival 2008, Århus
Cloudy amber color, poor head. The aroma has some whisky, smoke and cheese touch. Medium body; good sweet caramel flavor, warming; understated bitterness; the vanilla from the cask adds in this one the complexity missing in the regular version. Good.
