12-ish oz can, courtesy of SarkyNorthener, pours with a clear gold body that supports a white head of foam. The aroma offers up a potpourri of notes switching back and forth between anise, toffee and sweet booze. The taste delivers malt liquor like sweet boozy sugary maltiness with some sweet pear like fruity esters flowing into some anise and thin toffee. Interesting beer.

330ml bottle @ Shrewsbury Beer Share, May 16. 2010 ’vintage’. Brought by Mike. Many thanks. Pours deep orangey brown. Thin off-white head. Aroma is muggy caramel. Taste brings aged honey, musty caramel, a familiar barley wine sweetness and some cobwebs. Perhaps doesn’t age well, or wasn’t that great to start with.
