Bottle split at L6 (home Panda), thanks to LKS, 18/10/22. Hazed mahogany brown with a thin beige cap that veers edgewards. Nose is nutty, dried fruits, grape must, vinous tones, toffee. Taste comprises bitter sweet candied fruit rinds, faint oxidised notes, brown sugars, toffee, fruit cake, light spice. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Not bad.

Bottle shared in CW - picked up in VT. Pours unclear amber with a frothy, mostly white head. Medium sweet flavour with some earthy hops, berries, grapes, nips of pine, sun-kissed malts. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming finish, a little vanilla, toasted grains, honey, more grape notes. Interesting, so so.

This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a light bronzed to burnt red almost brown color. A thin finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute. Lacing was messy and somewhat stringy.
The smell started off with toast, sweet apples, figs, light vanilla, sweet sticky pear, light toffee, light cocoa.
The taste was moderately sticky sweet with a subtle gracing of the bitterness invading and sliding into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a dare-I-say sessionable aspect to it. Uh...yeah for an English Barleywine, I’m not getting enough body on this one.
Overall, well, the taste and the aroma is there, but the mouthfeel/palate/body, yeah, about that, hmmm....come on Burlington, you can do better, guys (needs more \"beef\" on that body, guys, just saying).
