Originally brewed on October 25th to commemorate the Charge of the Light Brigade. Don’t be fooled by the strength, this is one easy drinking beer. A rich, sweet barley wine with a heady, alcoholic nose and incredibly complex flavour profile. Brewed since 1994 by appointment to the Queens Royal Lancers. They’re tough enough to sink a few….are you?

Now brewed in January and matured for 11 months to be sold over Christmas and New Year. The prolonged storage provides an extremely drinkable ale for its strength. A strong, dark aromatic and estery barley wine.

[i] [b] Bottle from the Dodgi’ Deli’ Cowley Road, had this 21-04-08 [/i] [/b] Dark Chesnut pour with a rapidly receding tan head. Fruity and malty but a bit pushy on the alcohol front. Very nice beer with quite a decent tang, bit of an earthy quality and surprisingly bitter, this isn’t bad at all and if the alcohol was just a little bit better hidden it would score even more impressively.

Sampled cask conditioned. Deep burgundy in colour. Fruity and salty nose. Very malty, full bodied. Surprising almond and banana flavour. Very dry. Salty, bitter finish. Almost like a Belgian style doubel dark, but perhaps leaning towards a barley wine as well.
