330ml bottle. Almost black colour with small, creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Vinous, slightly woody and tannic aroma, hints of red wine, a touch of oak, the basic Barley Wine is widely disguised and delivers not more than an impression of unspecific maltiness. Taste is slightly vinous fruity and minimally sweet malty with cautious aspects of caramel and almond, hints of red wine, blue grapes, a touch of cherry, morello, grape sugar, a cautious woody, oaky, minimally tart-ish, tannic touch. Slightly viscous texture, smooth and soft palate, very fine, gentle, soft carbonation. Harmonious and balanced, well hidden alcohol - not bad.
