A very dark-coloured Winter Ale prepared using pale and roasted malts. Three hops are added to make it a rich full-bodied beer.

Cask at GBBF 2011. A dark brown coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Malty, fruity aroma. Tastes of dark fruit, sweet, malty, caramel. A rich tasting Christmas beer which I really enjoyed, rather strange to be drinking it at a summer beer festival.

Cask. A hazy red-brown beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma is very malty combined with a note of caramel and a touch of alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and alcohol, leading to a dry alcoholic finish.

Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat, finish feel is moderate alcoholic. Quit alcoholic of a 5.5% beers but maybe the program was wrong and it is 7.6% as on ratebeer !

Cask. Took this down as 6% ABV. Pours an opaque dark brown with an orange hue and an off-white head leaving laces. Sweet/tart aroma of wood and hard roasted malt. Quite full-bodied, low carbonation, licorice, hard roasted malt and cough syrup. Rather alcoholic finish. 200110

Cask, handpump at The Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks, 21-12-09 Stood in the pub whilst it was blizzarding heavily outside, so only had chance to have small amount before I realised that not moving soon may see me stuck in Aylesbury for the evening. Pours brown a touch hazy with an off-white head. There is a good level of bitterness, some dark fruits, its not as sweet or as cloying as I was expecting and even the alcohol isnโt the harsh burner that I believed it was going to be. Nice stuff wish I could have had more time, not been driving and the snow not quite so hideous. A7 A4 F7 P4 Ov14 3.6

Gravity dispense at Pigโs Ear Festival 2008, London
Dark brown, almost black color. Sweet caramel aroma and sweet caramel flavor. There is also some nice hop and light yeast aroma, some chocolate flavor; smooth caramel brew, with a sweet caramel final, light fruitness, leaving a very pleasant trace of English hops. Very enjoyable.

Cask gravity at Pigs Ear 2008. Winner of the South East barley wine category. Black/dark ruby colour. OK dark fruit aroma. Oh dear, very alcoholic, doesnโt hide its strength at all. Drank this side by side with the Stumpys Drunken Dog and the Stumpys wins easily. Some choc. Shares a lot of characteristics with the Stumpys except the drinkability. Not exactly a barley wine, more of an English strong ale. Still its quite good. Dried fruit flavours, some hop sting.
