Barley Gold is a hearty, potent and warming strong ale. The colour of deep burnished gold, it's produced from copious quantities of the finest natural brewing ingredients. Brimful with fruity, malty, bitter-sweet flavours, that are underpinned by the strength derived from a prolonged conditioning period.

Bottled, thanks Papsoe! Dark reddish amber, near no head. The nose is arousingly vinous, but gradually turns to paper and caramel. Sweet and medium bodied with clean, slim mouthfeel. A bit boozy with notes of paper. Peppery finish.

Bottle. Glorious dark brown beer with a nice light head. The aroma is very strongly malty and toffee dry, and the flavour is very very sweet and strong on the alcohol. Overall the first impressions are good but the drink is too strong.

Fresh: Copper beer with a disappearing off-white head. Weak fruity aroma, some dates and plums. Initially sweet flavour with a hint of sourness, and lots of warming alcohol. Aged re-rate - BB: Nov 2005, tasted Sept 2007. Head seems more lasting than the fresh one. Dried fruits, port, and some solvent aroma. Sweet dried fruit flavour, some alcohol, relatively thin flavour. After a few sips itโs all sweet and oxidized flavour and I wonโt recommend long cellaring.

33cl bottle from Franglais, Calais. What on earth is this doing in France? Reddy chestnut colour with lasting beige head. Strong dry malt aroma. Some spice. Not unattrative at all. I canโt believe this is so strong. A bit like Abbot Ale in flavour in the mouth. Very malty. And then the sickly alcohol kicks in. Oh dear. It was fine up to this point, but this really is far too sweet and nasty. Bascially it starts well and finishes badly.

(Bottle 27,5 cl) Clear, very dark amber with a small, crude head. Vinous, sherry-like and strongly alcoholic nose. Sweetish and malty with very complex and refined notes of overripe fruit. Very warming alcohol - a true winter warmer. 111105

An amber beer with a small orange head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel and alcohol, that runs prickling over the tongue. A lovely Barley Wine.
