330ml bottle. Opaque, dark brown colour with average to huge, foamy, moderately to mostly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Sweet-ish, toasty malty aroma, notes of caramel, vanilla, toffee, hints of red and blue berries, a touch of raisin; an initial impression of Bourbon BA reveals itself as unfounded, yeasty, leafy hints of blueberry and bramble finally predominate. Taste is sweet-ish, toasty malty, hints of caramel, molasses, toffee, liquorice, some blueberry and bramble, a papery touch; minimally warming, alcoholic finish. Strong but still rather drinkable.

Cask at Egham Beer Fest, 13/04/17. Thin boozy aroma. Darkest brown. Cream off-white head. Sweet. Spiced stewed fruit. Light bodied. Slick. Relatively abrupt finish. Slips down. Would have liked a warming sensation from the booze, but didn’t get it.

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2017. Black beer thin tan head. Well it definitely smells of near on 10% abv. Boozy in the mouth liquorice and molasses flavour. As i say a little hot. Definitely a sipper rather than a gulper. Settled down a bit. Ok if too hot.

Cask gravity at the 2016 pigs ear beer fest. A amber brown coloured pour with a loose white head. Aroma is solvent harsh alcohol, apple cake, cinnamon. Flavour is composed of rounded malts, burnt toffee, headache inducing alcohol. Palate is sweet and sticky rounded, ok cask condition. Alcohol is too harsh.

Draft at a Pigs Ear Fest. Getting closer to my palate, a much bigger barley wine than the previous ratings. Still not overly boozy. Plenty malty though, malts dominate the aroma and taste. Velvety textures.

Draft at Craft 100 Spring 2016 - Craft Beer Co. Clapham, London. Pours clear red-amber with a light, white cream topping. The nose holds light toffee, dried berries, bread. Medium sweet flavour, a little earthy, with some leathery berries, dry bread. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming to finish, with notes of old berries, toasted toffee. Good and drinkable.

Taste comprises fruit esters, spice, toffee fudge, stewed dates, toasted brown sugar. Medium + bodied, soft carbonation, warming alcohol in the close. Pretty basic for the style and ABV.

Craft 100 at Craft Clapham. Cask. Light haze on this deep amber beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light, dry and has a good fine minerally crispness. Sweetish toffee malts, some lactose like sweetness. Hop spice, tangy fruits, more hop spice. Light floralness before a semi dry finish. Tasty enough.
