Draught at the brewery; on nitro
Dark amber color, hazy. Malt aroma, with light toffee. Lean body, not too strong, with limited sweetness; malt flavor, not as deep as expected, some toffee flavor too, and quite strong bitterness, with medium hop resins. A bit boozy in the end.
Aroma of Barley Wine, flavor of Strong Ale (English?).
Pleasant brew. It doesn’t impress as a Barley Wine.

Light golden-brown, sticky toffee, sweet, and a bit light body in the finish. Some coffee late.

On tap at Old Abbey, pours a hazy orange amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out notes of coffee, a touch of caramel and dark fruits. Flavour curiously also brings out lots of coffee, like they either haven't cleaned their lines or something, along with caramel and dark fruits. I actually really like the coffee in this. Light bodied for the style, but integrated well. Very nice.

Draft - Dark malts and almost coffee notes with a touch of booze. Deep clear caramel with a beige head. Caramel and coffee notes. Sweet toffee but this coffee note is very odd.
