Cask at GBBF ’14, day 1, 12/08/14. Lightly hazed golden with a well appointed off white covering that retains. Nose is candied fruit peel, light spice, floral notes, hint of booze, rich caramel. Taste comprises candied fruit peels, light smoke, caramel, spice. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with light spice and booze. Decent enough cask barley wine.

At GBBF 2014. Clear gold lasting white head. Some diacetyl on aroma. Some sweetness. Some hop on the finish. Ok once you get over the diacetyl.

500ml bottle. Poured a hazy light amber with a frothy white head and lots of broken lace. The aroma is yeast, light malt. The flavour is strong bitter with a yeast cutrus strong alcohol bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Reminded me of a strong Belgian ale with Belgian style yeast. It’s 7.5% but seemed stronger. Very "un-English" but I liked it.

Bottle conditioned 500ml, shared in De Bierboom on 31st Jan 2014 at the Pre Brugge Beer Festival bottle exchange. This is a pale winter warmer and what it lacks in colour it more than makes up for in flavour. Golden hue to the pale body, white crown on top. Spicy malt nose with a hop bite within the malt based taste. Hints of caramel lead the flavours in the mouth with some spiced fruitiness coming through also. Very nice brew, the alcohol is noticeable but it suits the flavours and enhances the experience nicely.

On gravity at the Tewkesbury winter beer festival, 7/2/2014. Amber with a decent, off-white head. Citrus fruits, some slightly spicy malts, leafy hops and a sweetish finish. Enjoyable.

Cask at NWAF, 2012. Amber pour with a white head. Baked apple and barley sugar aroma. Flavours of stewed apple, pear drops and vanilla. Quite vinous. Fruity-bitter finish. Very tasty.
