(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a white head. Fat citrusy nose. Quite full-bodied with a high degree of sweetness, overripe fruit and citrusy notes. Lightly bitter finish. Nice alright, but not really much of a Barley Wine. 310808

50 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a slowly collapsing and lacing white head. Citrusy hoppy aroma. Sweet and fruity hops flavour with acidic touch. Lasting fruity and hoppy mild spiced aroma. Light yeasty and mild touch into the finish. Smooth. Nice one.

Bottle conditioned. Turbid orange brown with an off-white head. Barley sugar and dried apricot aroma. Toffee flavour with a hint of roastiness and spice. Earthy hop and warming alcohol finish. Good.
