Cask at Pigs Ear. Barleywine? Okaaaaaay! Near clear but very deep brown beer, decent bubbly darkish tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Decently chocolatey dark malts. Oaty sweetness. Good ripe fruits, slightly berry and a little dates. Airy semi dry finish. A pleasant tasting affair, albeit a tad dry. Still not sure how this is barleywine.

Okay cask offering but as per Kenneth wouldn't have guessed a barleywine ... probs a porter.
