On tap at Brewdog Soho. Aromas of citrus, tropical fruits, peach,passionfruit, pineapple. Taste is peach, grapefruit, passionfruit, pineapple, tangerine. Rich bittersweet finish. More a 'Tipper' than a barley wine, doesn't fit in the latter category at all.

Can direct from Brewdoge. It pours surprisingly pale golden - yellow with a fluffy white head. The aroma is super weedy, dank, green, herbal, quite sorachi ace-eque, fennel, liquorice, powdered sweet coconut, vanilla sugar, ripe tropical fruits, fermenting mango, orange marmalade, kumquat and boiled sweets. The taste is slick, oily, sappy, sticky, resinous, big boosty slap of alcohol which lingers throughout, green, weedy, super herbal, damp leaves and forest undergrowth, medicinal almost, Jagermeister, bitter citrus peel, kumquat, grapefruit, campari, coconut milk, mango, papaya and spicy wood with a drying and boosty finale. Medium - fulsome body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Doesn't resemble any barleywine I've had before.... Big boozey, boosty, sticky and herbal.
