Bottle thanks to Wolf. Mildy hazy amber beer, decent tan head. Smooth palate, slightly soft and slightly dry, decent fine carbonation. Soft smooth malts, nice caramel and cream, mild toffee. Mild mild spice in the middle. Ripe fruits, whisper of brandy soaked fruits. Airy and slightly savoury finish. Good trad barleywine. Smooth, rich and tasty.
