The era of a new king is dawning. Long live King Rufus the barley wine which reigns supreme with an impressive 15.6% ABV. An aficionado beer for the rumbustious, the complex malts and light use of hops imbue this English Barleywine with a bellicosity that borders on belligerent. As you take your first sip, you’ll be greeted by a symphony of malty sweetness, dark fruits, and a subtle hint of alcohol. Warming and supple this big beer fuels your soul for the dark days of winter and leaves you in awe of the king’s dominion. Cheers to the king of barleywines

Tap @ Bøker og Børst. Almost clear amber body under a small tan head. Aroma is dominated by dry fruits in particular raisins. Some alcohol. Taste is sweet malt, lots of dry fruits and some warming alcohol. Full bodied with long lasting aftertaste. Nice but a bit one dimensional on the raisins flavor.

330ml can bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Fawn-coloured head with fine retention, scattered lacing, and a deep dark brownish body. Rather attractive on the nose with caramel malts and raisin. Mixed and robust taste profile of almond, caramel and dried fruits. Warming, and long-lived finish, not overly sweet. Full bodied. Likeable evening sipper. (Tromsø, 04.04.2024)

330 ml can, at Cardinal, Stavanger. ABV is 15.6%. Deep reddish brown colour, moderate off-white to beige head. Aroma of malts and dark dried fruits, some vinous hints. Flavour with the same elements, also distinct bittering hops. The alcohol is not as dominant as I feared.

Amber. Kortlivd skum med litt farge. Blir film. Sherryaroma. Hint av tropisk frukt. Silkemyk munnfølelse. Staken tørket frukt. Alkoholisk tørr etter hvert.

Can at home 30/12/2023 Sweet malty aroma and taste, some faint dried fruit and accents of toffee and caramel sweetness, hardly any spice coming in or any complexity or richness here, very warming almost overt boozy into the close. Not doing much for me sadly and I love Lervig.
