Cloudy amber brown beer. Residual off white head. Toffee malt nose. Semi crisp and semi dry palate. Creamy dark toffee but with a carbonated sucker punch. Very light smoke. The toffee blends in to the subtle sweet orange marmalade. Soft finish, interesting beer. Again miffed at being sold an 18 month old IPA - but this is a decent barleywine!

Cloudy orange-amber color. The aroma is sweetish, with mellow malt, light alcohol, light fruits and light English hops. Good body strength, round mouthfeel, with a good and sweet malt flavor; the bitterness is objectively strong, but less prominent of the malt; there is a good fruity vein (from the fermentation) and only light sweaty hops.
Very good; balanced; better this hop’s character than the one in the VC.

Bottle. Thanks to Fonefan. #968/1300. Pours cloudy orange with a off white creamy head. Nose is sweet. Oily and sticky. Woody and vaguely metallic. Warm, alcoholic and sticky flavor with fruity and hoppy notes. Barley Wine like.

27.5 cL bottle, courtesy of Papsoe. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is cheesy, yeasty and overripe fruity. Sweet, caramelish and quite hops fruity. Bitter and slight yeasty fruity finish, sweet finish.

cloudy brown, small white head. strange aroma, sort of herbal , but not really, sort of dusty eggy if that makes any sense. strong yeast note (baking yeast). very strange. flavor is strong well balanced hoppy, malty balance, yeast flavor almost gone compared to aroma so actually tastes okay.

Bottle 27,5 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. Pours an opaque deep golden with a tiny off-white head. The nose has sweet and intense fruit with some skewed British hops. Solid body, very low in carbonation, almost pours thick and sirupy. Sweet fruitiness. I believe there’s quite some IBUs in this but they’re buried a little under the syrupy sweetness. 050111

Small bottle bought at Pigs Ear BF 2010 and drunk at home. Hazy deep orange amber colour with lasting beige head. I love these single hop beers and I love Fuggles so really forward to this. Sherberty leafy hop aroma. Big sweet syrupy IPA, more akin to a hoppy barley wine to be honest rather than an IPA. Some warming strawberry jam on the malts. Really this has to be a barley wine. Lovely and warming on a very cold wintery night. Hops are there but not overly dominant. Some tangy bitterness on the finish.
