Bottle from Marks & Spencer, Halifax. Reddish-brown with next to no head. Has a sticky-sweet texture, sweet taste, some fruit. Fairly palatable for its strength.

330ml bottle. Pours dark caramel brown with a small, bubbly head. Aroma is caramel, fruitcake and alcohol. Taste has fruitcake to start with a toffee finish and yeasty aftertaste. A bit flat.

33 cL bottle, courtesy of fonefan. Pours dark brown with a light orange glare and a diminished white head. Roasted malty and light fruity aroma. Sweet caramel and roasted malt flavour with a mild acidic note and quite dark fruity, yet not heavy. Mild infection it seems. Lingering roasted malty and light fruity finish.

Bottle from Marks and Spencer & consumed at home Saturday 14th February 2015 Dark brown in colour with a rim of beige bubbles. Some sweet dark sugar and a fairly safe bitterness. It’s fine enough, malty a touch sweatband with the strength remarkably well hidden. Fine. Btw this was the Marks and Spencer version. A6 A3 T7 P3 Ov13 3.2

The M&S one. Clear, reddy brown. No head. Boozy, heady, cake mix fruitiness. Some caramel. Taste is dried fruit dry. Some sweetness on the lips. Sticky mouthfeel. Finishes fruity dry. Would like to try a cask version of this. This is a bit dull.

33cl bottle from Marks & Spencer, Camberley. A dull chestnut brown pour with no head, looking flat and lifeless; sweet toffee aroma; surprisingly thin and watery with a sweet malt taste with a trace of almonds; and a sweet finish. Not the best barley wine I’ve come across.

330ml bottle from M&S in Rickmansworth, Herts. A dark ruby/brown coloured pour with a thin off white/beige head on top. Rich, dark fruit cake aroma. Tastes similar, rich, dark fruit cake, slight caramel and a hint of vanilla, a little boozy. I’ve had this beer many years ago and could have sworn it was much stronger. Still very pleasant and nice to see it in Marks and Sparx.

330ml bottle from M&S - Headless flat black ale, no head, no life. Nose is lots of rich boozy cake fruit, malt and caramel. Loads of boozy warmth in the taste, not a robust palate as I expected, but nice solid and chewy just on the flavour alone.
