Sweet toffee and just a touch of acetone. Deep brown with a small beige head. Sweet demarara sugar and a long finish, something odd here,

Dark amber colour, with no head. On the nose it's got a fair bit of alcohol, lots of caramel and toffee malt elements. On the palate, it's fairly soft, with a bit of toffee and a bit of smoke. It's not bad - nothing special going on, but it's okay.

330mL bottle, pours a murky dark mahogany with a tiny beige head. Aroma brings out lots of dried figs, toffee, and caramel. Flavour is a little tart, with caramelized banana, dried figs, tart berries, and sticky caramel. Tart and caramely, with that banana showing up on the finish. Certainly an interesting one.

Tap at Heart of Darkness, Singapore. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a short-lived frothy off white head. The aroma is roasty, light caramel, toffee, red berry fruits. The flavour is moderate to light sweet, with a smooth, rich, oily, fruity, light banana palate. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation. Not what I would call a classic Barley Wine, but big, fruity, boozy and if it wasn’t for the ABV, very sessionable!
