Bottle share. Cotteridge Beano. Hazy brown. Tan head. Big, woody, dark, oaky malts. Sweet. Some dry. Rich, a bit boozy, and a bit chewy. Lovely this.

I presume this is the regular LA share, was on tap at the madmex so I presume they are not good enough for the real aged thing. Black and foamy, quite alarming volatile sweet aroma. Big whisky alky impacy. go figger. Over the top on the taste buds, wew. Warming all over. A mans beer fer sure eheheh. If you want to drink shots of this give it a 5.

Dark mahogany color, rum raisin, port, oak, brown sugar, molasses, chocolatey nose. The mouth is totally flat, sweet malty mouth, with lots of port, brown sugar and raisins with a touch of oak. Warming portion finish. Can’t believe how flat this is and Tomme Aurther actually said it (2008 version) was an English BW. Losses points just for that.

Bottle pour split, enjoyed side by side with the bourbon aged vintage version. Thanks T for making this happen! Pours a reddish black with a fading tan head. Strong rich chocolate and sweet dark fruit. Sweet like a cookie flavor. Smooth flavor with a dark, more tart finish. Medium carb. A little boozy but overall drinks smooth. What a good beer this is.

2009 vintage. Very well done barley wine. Pours dark maroon with good head and lacing. Light sourness, lots of mash malt here. Some citrus, some booze. Brandy is light and well-integrated. Light bitter-sour finish. Bottle pour at Churchkey’s 5th anniversary - thanks to Jackl for a taste of this.

On my third and final flight at Stones Liberty Station outlet in San Diego on 17th March 2014. Came black with a thinning tanned head. Rich and deep malty molasses rule the nose and taste, this is one heavy brew with plenty going on to occupy your senses. A great send off from a lovely setting, slow walk back to the hotel took a bit longer because of this beer!

(Bottle, 2010 vintage) Dark brown colour, with a hint of ruby when seen through light. Almost flat, with just a few quickly disappearing bubbles. Malty, fruity, vinous nose with notes of caramel, oak wood, dried fruit, raisins, vanilla, port wine and a touch of brandy. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, dried fruit, raisins in brandy, vanilla, oak wood, port wine and a vinous finish with fiery alcohol and a touch of tannin acidity. Full body, despite the lack of carbonation, it’s actually quite massive. Fairly sweet, with fiery alcohol in the finish. Low bitterness. Different, but quite lovely. (Rating # 6000)
