Cask at the Nut Tree 07-05-06. Dark golden colour, nice hops, good fruitness, a touch sweet. Ok but no great shakes.

Bottle Tesco. A warm golden/orange colour, some bananey notes but also a bit floral. Taste wise was little bit of banana again plus some vanilla with quite a bit of residual sweetness present. Not bad but nothing wonderful

Milder than most barleywines that I have tried to date. Carmels, fruitiness, and malty tones lighten the overall presence of alcohol. Kind of syrup like on the palate, smooth to drink overall.

Bottled. Copper coloured, mediumsized creamy head. Aroma of banana, wheat and some spices. Flavour is caramellish, xylitol mixed with some red wineish hints and passion fruit. Also wheat noteable. Weird mix, but very refreshing.

Amber color. Both the aroma and flavor have malt and hop, the mouthfeel is quite dry, very light cheesy notes (aroma), some caramel taste. Only the final has something disappointing (short and not aromatic).

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A red-brown beer with a dense creamy brown head. The aroma is sweet roasted with light notes of chocolate, while the flavor besides the sweet rostyness contains light notes of metal and lemon, and leads to a dry bitter end.

Cask handpull at The Cove, Covent Garden with Yogi Beera, Pivo, Chris_O and Kook. Thanks to Chris and Kook for showing me this place, as I would never have found it otherwise. Deep gold. Nice citric hop, really quite pleasant overall. Good beer with citric hoppy finish and some good white flesh fruit flavours.
