Bottle. Amber brown beer with a light tan head. Malty aroma with some dried fruit, figs, and dates and a bit of alcohol. Malt flavor with some sweetness, vanilla, and light figs/raisins. Lighter than expected body. Vanilla and malt lingers with a bit of dried fruit.

This barley wine poured a light copped colour with next to no head at all. Even after a vigorous pour. To the nose there are scents of paint, liquid paper, corn, sweet malt and cherries. First taste was very smooth with a thick mouthfeel. Taste of cherries, malt and sugar are most prodominant. Finish is sweet with malty cherry flavour lingering. Finish is syrupy but not that sweet. One of the better Barley wines I’ve ever had.

Pours dark ruby color with minimal off white head. Strong caramel and fruity aromas. Sweet malty, dark fruit flavors with some warmth from the alcohol. Medium/full body with mild carbonation and a syrupy mouthfeel. A good English style barley wine.

Bottle, 2005 vintage, thx to Maria for sharing. Pours with a lot of microfloaties and some chunky floaties in an else clear copper body with a minimal beige head. Malty nose with beef-stock, caramel, fruits, pine and resin. Quite sweet in the mouth, alcohol evident but not pushing, beefstock, raisins and a little oxidation. Quite bitter, especially towards the finish. Considering the beer style, the mouthfeel is rather thin, but it’s a nice beer. (080412)
