Bottle from Tony, thanks for the opportunity! Dark brown with beautiful ruby highlights. Dark sugars and butterscotch aromas dominate. Sweet burnt sugar and butterscotch flavors with lots of dark fruits. Almost non existent carbonation. Diacetyl bomb, meh.

Bottle from Loco Liquor in Blairgowrie, Johannesburg, bb 30/09/13
Dark mahogany color with medium sized head. The aroma is just caramel, but it has a certain elegance. The mouthfeel is soft and round; caramel flavor with a malt backbone, nutty, moderately sweet; correct bitterness.
The single elements of this beer are rather simple, but it has been brewed with elegance and skills; a perfect, British, Half Barley Wine.
