Midtfyns Barley Wine
High strength and bitterness meet flavours of caramel, dried fruit and oak in a very well-balanced barley wine with a sweet side. The style goes back to the Napoleonic Wars, when the English needed an alternative to wine because drinking French wine was seen as unpatriotic. Midtfyns launched its Barley Wine in 2009.
