(Draught at Man in the Moon, Stockholm, 11 Dec 2021) Amber colour with frothy, tan head. Malty, fruity nose with caramel, dried fruit, raisins, figs and oak wood. Malty, fruity, vinous taste with notes of dried fruit, caramel, raisins, figs, dates, oak wood, vanilla, coconut and a mild spicy bitterness. Full body, quite sweet. Solid and well made English style barley wine with a slightly woody touch. Very nice.

On tap at Man in the Moon. Amber with a small head. Sweet with coconut, vanilla, malt, whisky and some fruit. Warming alcohol in the finish.

Bottle. Called 'Barleywine' with a subtext of 'Coconut and Vanilla Edition' 10.5%. Aged in whiskey barrels and the added coconut and vanilla. Has to be the same edition. Clear amber beer, small pale tan head. Smooth palate, a very mild viscosity, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth malts, not at all heavy for the style. Semi sweet caramel with a distinct brandy tone. Nicely integrated vanilla and coconut, there but never overpowering the base beer. A slightly bitterish orange peel and marmalade thing on the back end. Smooth and mildly dry finish. Clever stuff. There is a decent barleywine base here, caramel, brandy, ripe orange peel. A decent depth by it's Jack Jones. The coconut and vanilla adds more dimension and depth. Not quite a full on dessert barleywine, but very interesting.
