time to play the "can you name this style by the pictures" game.

[BigMack]

My mistake, you're right. Sorry bout that

I forgive you.

 

[drainbamage]

English?

 

[hanuswalrus]

It is considered an English Barleywine on Beer Advocate, but the brewer is not located in England.

 

[MrFeltimo]

So it's NOT made in the USA or UK?

 

[hanuswalrus]

No it is not.

 

[BigMack]

Is it Italian?

 

[hanuswalrus]

No sir, not Italian. But you're on the right Continent

 

[MrFeltimo]

French?

 

[hanuswalrus]

Not French. Voyez plus loin au nord

 

[mattv21]

From Denmark?

 

[hanuswalrus]

Yep

 

[mattv21]

To Øl - Mine is Bigger than Yours, Mine Is Bigger Than Yours (Muscatel Barrel Aged), and I've Seen Bigger Than Yours (brewed with orange peel and raspberry juice)?

 

[hanuswalrus]

No

 

[ThatVideoKid]

Batch One - Ameger Bryghus?

 

[GlenF]

Nogne Ø

 

[hanuswalrus]

No sir.. I didn't want to give it away.. but this BREWER (without the 'Y' at the end is located in Denmark, but the beer MAY be brewed elsewhere. Although, it did say product of Denmark on all the bottles.

 

[hanuswalrus]

Also, these beers are not listed as "Current" on BeerAdvocate

 

[Zekk]

◾Old Mephisto by Bryggeriet Djævlebryg

 

[hanuswalrus]

Nope.. hint time.. This brewery does a lot of collaborations with a lot of different breweries, including one very popular one from NW Indiana.

 

[MrFeltimo]

Mikkeller brewing
Risgoop
Rusgoop
Boogoop?

 

[hanuswalrus]

It is Mikkeller, but not those beers.. these particular beers are not a collab

 

[MrFeltimo]

Mikkeller
Is the the Big Worse family of beers. Apologies for not naming them all but there are so many types.
Or must I ?

 

[hanuswalrus]

Nope, not that one.. the beers I'm looking for are all made from the same wort.. so something post-fermentation/pre-bottling is very slightly altering these beers.

 

[TooDogly]

Mikkeller - Big Worster - Various barrel-aging editions (i.e. Chardonnay edition)?

 

[hanuswalrus]

Not Big Worst, but you're onto something with the barrel idea..

 

[TooDogly]

Okay, it's got to be their French Oak series of barleywines (Foret du ****) It looks like they have about 6 different ones, which three did you try?

There we go! We had Foret du Centre light and medium toast, and Foret du Troncais medium. They were all very good, the differences on all 3 were very slight, but noticeable. At 17% abv, we were all in good shape after this sampling.

 

[MrFeltimo]

That was a tough one.

17% abv! That is truly a barley wine. Do you know what was on the barrels before the beer was put in?

I will post one up later tonight.

We weren't able to find out much else about the barrels other than they are French oak with varying degrees of char/toast. I want to say that they were fresh, unused barrels tho.
