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

Pours clear, dark copper. Fairly stable medium small white head. Scent is full, malty, dried fruits, caramell. Still a very crunchy, 'fresh' maltyness. Taste is full, bitter, crunchy maltyness. Alcohol works really well and isn't as extremely high as the true ABV makes one expect. Vanilla, dried fruits, medium thick to thick body and lower carbo. BW done right !

0,33 boks fra VP Herbarium, hjemme: klar og vakker mørk rubinrød farge, ok skum. Tørkede frukter (svisker, fiken, gule rosiner osv...), sviskeplommer, karameller/toffee, Anton Bergs Madeira i blomme, årgangsmadeira og mer enn et subtle hint of alcohol - her får du rask og entusiastisk oppvarming av indre organer. Mild bitterhet uten at det går på bekostning av helhetsinntrykket. Jeg lurer litt på om denne egentlig ble brygget med tanke på fatlagring. Litt røff i kantene, men et røverkjøp for kjelleren. Jeg løper av gårde i morgen.

Perfectly clear dark amber beer, thin off-white head. Smells boozy, with fruit and a little hop on top of some sweet malt. Flavour has... well to be honest it doesn't hide the ABV. There's a bit of boozy harshness that hits you right in the mouth here. It mellows, with caramel, sweet fruit, lots of malt. Warming and with a bittersweet finish of malt and booze. I love Lervig and I like this beer a lot but it's not their best effort at hiding the strength of something strong.
