A gloriously rich and complex barley wine. Made using a blend of barrel- and steel-aged beers, giving masses of sticky candied fruit flavour, toffee, cooked dark fruits and warming brandy.

330ml bottle from brewery. Murky brownish red colour with small off-white head. Aroma is boozy Christmas pudding, toffee, candied peel, dried fruits, hints of wood. Taste is sweet sticky toffee, booze, dried fruit, wood. Full bodied and a nice light carbonation. Definitely a sipper this one!

Taste: moderate sweet & bitter, sticky, toffee, caramel, dried fruit, molasses hints. Quite boozy. Medium body with spritzy carbonation. Love the retro bottle & label.

Very retro style bottle, just needs a foil cap to complete the 70s vibe. Clear deep amber beer, small pale tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, good fine carbonation. Sparkling indeed. Smooth malts, a little creamy sweetness. Good dose of darkish toffee. Spicy mid into some ripe fruits. Touch of brandy on the back end, pretty mellow. Finishes airy and warming. Decent barleywine, has some depth but lacks some maturity. Think this will age nicely.

Loving the OMT style bottle, name and style! It pours crazy cloudy deep chocolate with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is rich and chewy, intoxicating, incredible amount of dried fruit, prune, date, raisin, sultana, fruit cake, toffee, caramel, Dr Pepper, cherry cola, salty, spicy, dandelion & burdock and sticky booze. The taste is toothy and chewy, rich and fulsome, bitter - sweet, oak, spice, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, prune, date, port, fruit cake, Christmas pudding, marzipan, Dr Pepper, cherry cola, burnt toast, umami, warming booze (but not 13%+), brandy snaps and figgy pudding with a toasty, warming finish. Fulsome body and fine, prickly carbonation. A big toothy, chewy fruity number. Nice depth (especially as it warms up) and balance. Fun stuff.

Dinky 330ml bottle ordered from Brew Cavern, Nottingham. Opaque teak. Thin bubbly beige head never offers full coverage. Aroma is sweet Christmas pudding and fig rolls. Sweet - not overly so - as per the aroma. Slightly sour edge. Boozy streak gradually becomes prevalent. As does the molasses.Thick bodied. Oily. Soft carbonation. Long astringent finish. I like. Thick, seasonal and boozy.

330ml bottle. Pours deep reddy brown with a small head. Aroma is dried fruits, toffee, booze and molasses, proper old school vibe. Taste has toffee and dried fruits, some woody notes, a bit subdued compared to the aroma. Warming booze.
