On tap at Westlake, pours a clear dark bronze with a tiny beige head. Aroma seems nothing like an English barley wine, with sweet caramel and not a whole lot else. Flavour is boozy and chaotic, with some perfume, caramel and bready malt. This tastes like they haven't the slightest clue what they're doing. Not a disaster but it's a pretty haphazard creation.

Frothy, lingering, clear pure amber short pour. Sharp hint of grain, some dough, then nothing. Seriously thin with some froth. Sharp grain, bittersweet, mellow pith bitterness that isn't enough. Light acid, tea, generic cereal sweetness. Some lingering tannic tea feels on the finish. Watered down & lacking.
