Scandinavia’s biggest brewer have started producing a designer beer which has a chestnut brown color with little foam and hints of caramel, prune, vanilla plus oak tree from the French and Swedish wooden casks in which it is stored. It’s aptly called Carlsberg’s Vintage No1 and there are whiffs of a PR stunt here… hell, I’m writing about it!

Sound like a fine wine to you? It’s certainly changing the face of beer brewing. But at £200 would you be tempted?

It is apparently best drank as a desert or cheese beer and comes in at a staggering 10.5% volume… just one bottle is all you need… let alone can afford! There are only 600 bottles going on sale each of 37.5 centiliters (0.8 pint) and in 2009 we can expect even more from the Carlsberg vats.
