Very frothy, yellowish-cream head, over well-carbonated, foxy orange-amber, clear beer. Very "beery’ nose with caramel malts, some dry hops, garden herbs, rainwater, writing ink; aromatic. Bitterish, tangy flavour with some fruity esters, rosehips, and caramel with preciously little sweetness. Again herbal retronasal. Bit slick, even oily, but not very well-bodied. Well-carbonated, and alcohol perceptibel, certainly warming up, with more sweetness, almondy. Strong ale, sure, barley wine... not really. But good.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Thick palate. Treacly beer. Full on malts with a bitter hop undertone. Quite drinkable though.

275ml bottle. Pours a deep amber with no head. Aroma is fruity malt and boose. Very sweet. Then there’s some caramel and booze. Moderate bitter finish and lots of carbonation. An alright effort.

Picked up at Belingers Jet Garage, Grove near Wantage, Oxon, consumed in Frank, camper 16-09-08 Pours looking quite a stunner lovely copper colour with a small white head and great clarity. Tastes good, rich cinder toffee touch of alcohol can overtake proceedings occasionally. This is quite heavy but for my first time on it I’m really quite happy with it.

Amber colour. Aroma is alcoholic and metallic, with some grain. Flavour has caramel malts and alcohol. Average.

Bottled@Chris O Post GBBF Tasting. Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is alcohol, malts and that’s pretty much it. Flavour is malts, harsh alcoholic sweetness with some grass in the finish.

Clear amber with large white head. Metalic notes in the aroma with hints of caramel. Sweet flavor with caramel, malty and alcohol notes. Boozy nonsense...

Bottle, 9.1%. Very vinous aroma and quite sweet. Quite cloudy dark red colour. The flavour is quite vinous with some alcohol and bitterness. Quite flavourful, but still a bit rough, even though it is a year past BB date. 7 3 7 3 17
Bottle. Slightly oxidized aroma. Caramelly flavour. Quite alcoholic, very peppery, gets a bit rough. Not very complex, just alcoholic. 6 3 5 3 12

27.5 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown to orange and with a creamy light off-white head. Dense malt, fruity an slight earthy aroma. Flavour starts dried fruity and stays rather dry. Light roasted malt note and mild liqourice touch. Mild spiced note too. Gains a lot of alcohol presence towards the finish. Ends dry and slight alcohol burning.

Hazy red-brown color with a rather thin creamy cap. Fruity aroma, apples, but also strangely perfumy. It falls more in the English Strong Ale category: medium body strength, dominant caramel flavor, very warming alcohol feeling (almost burning), quite strong hopping. It’s not bad, but it turns too much into a booze-thing than a barley brew.
