A reddish copper barley wine with a thick lacing mocha head. In aroma, a musty vinous malt with herbal notes, earthy, nice floral hops. In mouth, a smooth caramel malt, treacle, floral hops with grapefruits pulp, more like a DIPA, but nice. Tasted with Pushkinnow, Spinrsx, Brews Phillips, CFrancis and Ian, Jan. 14 2011, Bartowel Ottawa gathering. Thanks Ian.

A hazed golden with a thin white head. In aroma, a grainy malt with mash tun notes, light caramel and British hops. In mouth, an oily caramel malt, very extract like, light hopping, boring. On tap at Seneca Lodge Brewfest, Dec. 3 2011.
