Bottle shared. Cloudy brown with some floaters and a small light tan head. Aroma of caramel, big herbal notes, yeast, spicy notes, a little vegetal, malt and fruits. Flavour is above moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. [12-09-2016]

Small yellow head, irregular, over well-carbonated opaque redbrown beer. Cake, dried fruit (raisins, apricots, plums,...) bit of bitter almonds, maltsyrup. Bitter with faint sweetness, cakey, underneath; chocolate, again fruity-yeasty. Faint brandy flavour. Quite well-bodied, oily-slick, bit pappy feel in the finish. Good carbonation. Quite nice, but as Barley Wines go, there’s better around.
