Brewed once a year this classic strong golden beer has a long maturation period to give a smooth and warming character.
A delightful sipping beer. Rich fruit flavours with marzipan, herbal hoppiness and Cognac overtones finishing with a warming alcohol essence. The residual sweetness is balanced by large amounts of best English Goldings hops.

Golden amber, clear, bubbly white head that dissipates to rim around glass, light lacing
Aroma of fruity sweet caramel malts, honey, sultana, touch of raisin, light vinous, alcohol well hidden, smooth quite complex
Taste - Sweet fruity soft caramel, soft raisin, bit vinous, some sweet fruity sherry, not boozy, sweet fruits,
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, smooth oily texture. Particulary sweet palate. Finish - as main flavour, fruity sweet malts, very smooth, soft alcohol warmth in the linger
Overall - Good easy drinking barley wine, very smooth, alcohol well hidden. Definately a sipper as its very sweet.

(Gravity cask at White Horse, Parsonโs Green, London, 23 Nov 2012) Chestnut colour with no head. Malty, fruity nose with treacle, honey and slightly vinous aromas. Malty, fruity taste with notes of marzipan, marmalade, honey and citric hops in a fairly sweet and vinous finish. Almost full body, quite sweet. Tasty and quite nice.

Gravity Dispense at White Horse Parsons Green, Old Ale Festival - 23/11/12. Clear dark golden, no head. Nose is toffee, butter popcorn, caramel malts, sweet sugars. Taste comprises caramel, sweet sugars, a little butter, touch of booze, hint of wood. Full bodied, slightly cloying, no carbonation lending towards a sweet finish. A decent barley wine.

Cask at The White Horse Old Ale fest 2012, Parsons Green, London. A golden/amber coloured pour with virtually no head. Sweet, boozy, caramel aroma. Tastes incredibly sweet, syrupy, caramel, fruity. Not really my thing, it was far too sweet.

Cask at GBBF 2012, London. Pours clear, bright gold with a light, white foam head. Boozy caramel nose, some ripe fruits. Hugely sweet flavor with rich caramel and toasted sugars. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Very sweet and warming to finish, lightly syrupy, some stewed apples, more caramel. Nice beer.

Cask at GBBF 2012. It pours golden amber, with a thin, bubbly off-white head. The nose is spice, hay, dough, underlying toffee sweetness and caramelised banana. The taste is sweet pear, red grape, banana, fruit syrup, toffee, wood and leather. Medium body and low carbonation. Drinks pretty well. A decent British barley wine.
