This beer, produced in the classic English Barley Wine style, has a dark copper color. Aromas of red fruit in alcohol, cocoa, caramel and a subtle roasted vein. In the mouth it is warm and enveloping, soft and refined but at the same time balanced with a fairly dry finish.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours plum colour, with no foam. Aroma is caramel, a little molasses. Body is a bit on the thick side, with no carbonation. Taste is medium-high sweet. Final is still rather sweet.

Ridiculous bottle. Hazy amber color with tiny soapy head. Aroma is raisins, caramel, orange nectar, dates. Taste is caramel, raisins, toffee, dates, figs. Sweet palate, oily mouthfeel, flat. Solid Barley "wine" in the true sense of the word.
