Beers similar to High King

hopIQ found 10 beers with the same oak and dark fruit character as High King. High King is a barley wine that went through a very long fermentation and slow maturation in Madeira barrels. It is served still: no head and no carbonation. The nose recalls an imperial stout, the colour a whiskey, the taste a sherry. Dried fruit and Madeira notes rest on a layer of wood, with a trace of fresh red fruit and a dry sweetness reminiscent of honey. At 20 % it stands far outside the usual range of beer. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
