Medium-bodied barley wine, surprisingly smooth, with a herbal aroma. Initially sweet, with a smooth, dry, finish. The addition of dandelion and burdock brings an earthy, herbal note to the beer. Vegan-friendly. Released for Anarchy Brew Co.'s 8th birthday at Friends of Anarchy Fest on 25th January 2020.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers! Aroma is a bit soapy, floral, toffee and a touch of herbs. Taste is candied sugar with a warm alcoholic kick. Some caramel and floral notes mixed in. The heat of the alcohol lingers. Not bad.

Can. Color: Hazy amber, off-white head. A bit light for a Barley Wine. Aroma: Dried fruit, malty, floral, sweetish. Taste: Dried dark and yellow fruit, caramel, herbal, floral and earthy notes. Recognizing the Dandelions from Fantôme Pissenlit. Bittery, herbal and dry finish. Over medium body, below average carbonation. Medium sweet, moderate to over moderate bitterness. Ok overall.

Clearish copper gold with a decent beige head. Dusty and slightly spiced yellow raisin. Bready, raisin, lots of baking spices and a bit of paper. Very odd, and in a not so good way.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 11/07/21. Amber pour with a well formed off white covering. Nose is rather thin for a double digit ABV number comprising light herb, crisp malts, biscuit, grains. Taste comprises toffee, light booze, herb, biscuit, caramel, light perfume. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a kiss of alcohol. Not setting my world on fire ... especially aroma wise ... but sips Ok.

18/7/2021. Can sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers! Pours clear dark golden with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is herbal, floral, toffee, grain, biscuit, warming spicy alcohol notes. Medium plus sweetness with an earthy bitterness and some sour alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, gentle fizz. Quite harsh alcohol burn to finish. A style (and brewery) I normally very much enjoy, but not particularly this one.
