7 month aged barley wine in Oak cask, surprisingly smooth. Some wine like character but alcohol and rich malts are on the forefront.

Bottle thanks to Jan. It pours clear deep brown with a beige head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, caramel, toffee, light vanilla, dried fruit and spice. The taste is dry, bitter, slightly tart, wood, vinous, leathery, berry skin, tannin, oily, brown bread, granny smith apple and funk with a drying and woody finish. Medium. Body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Quite tart....

Leeds Beer Festival 2016. Cloudy brown coloured ale. Strong and sweet tasting, which is its dominant feature. There’s a few dark malts to be found in here. This was tried after its little brother beer ’Calm Before’.
