carlsberg 468x397 Carlsberg launches world’s most expensive beer

Carlsberg has launched Vintage No. 2, the second brew in its Vintage trilogy. Sold at the price of €270 ($367) per bottle, it claims to be one of the world’s most expensive beers.

Carlsberg says that Vintage No. 2 has been matured in J.C. Jacobsen’s original cellar from 1847 where it has been stored in French oak casks for 100 days.

The beer has a jet-black colour and espresso-like foam, revealing flavours of vanilla and cocoa/mocha. The brewer says it complements oysters, shellfish, Parma ham and cheese, and if you crave something sweet, it will also go with chocolate and crème brûlée.
