Bottle from State Line, 2010 vintage stating 15.2% ABV. Pours a muddy brown, viscous looking, no head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, heavy oxidation. The taste is raisin, caramel, toffee, citrus, booze, anise. Medium bodied, bitter, well balanced, smooth. Quite interesting.

From a 330ml bottle on 26/7/2017. Pours a murky amber with the barest of heads. The nose is sweet and malty - caramel and toffee, with a hint of smoke. The flavour is quite sweet and intense, with caramel, toffee, butterscotch, brown sugar, treacle, along with a touch of bacon, finished off by a moderate bitterness.The palate is syrupy and carbonation soft. A lovely dessert like barley wine.

Bottled 14-11-16. Sweet! Honey, quite fruity, malty, fairly boozy. Not very hoppy, but a slight bitterness in the background. Not bad!

Bottle, 0.33l. Cloudy deep amber pour with small and short lasting off-white head. Nose is heavy malt, caramel, syrup and loads of sugar. Full body with thick and creamy texture, very softly carbonated. Very smooth mouthfeel, sugary sweet taste with slight bitterness from the alcohol. Aroma is heavy on the malts, caramel, toffee. Syrup, molasses, brown sugar. A bit sticky. Herbal liquor, slightly woody. Subtle alcohol burn, nice and warming. Bozzy finish, slightly bitter. Overall, pretty good. Nice balance and complexity, perhaps a bit too strong on the sugary sweetness.

Light brown colour, hazy/murky. Low head, scarse retention and lacing. Indeed not attractive. Pleasant and decently intense aroma of ripe fruits, mixed with vinous notes and a softening sugary feel. Taste has a very sweet base (caramel, sugar), overcome by powerful ripe fruit notes. The overall sweetness is balanced enough by a light alcoholic/warming feel and by a light herbal finish. Obviously full bodied with low to medium carbonation, thick and slightly creamy. Overall, a powerful but still nicely balanced brew, well hidden alcohol, maybe a bit too focused on ripe fruit. Enjoyable
