Looks like Coke. Beautiful nose of oak, port, burnt raisins and tequila just showing up in the background. . Super beautiful. Fairly dry, so I guess this beer is a bit old and showing oxidation. Heavy malty, boozy smooth palate. Amazing depth.

[2020 Vintage] 12oz bottle. Pours murky brown with no head. Caramel malts, pine, and raisins on the nose. Flavour has barley, raisins, sticky toffee, some pine, lots of dried berries. Modest carbonation. Great complexity, fantastic barley wine.

Stubby bottle: Poured a deep brown color barleywine with no real foamy head. Aroma of deep caramelized notes with dry candied fruits. Taste is also a mix of deeply caramelized malt notes with dry candied fruits and a sweet finale. Body is pretty full with good carbonation with some discernible alcohol notes. Nice thick barleywine - one of a kind.

Aromas are dark malt, figs, raisins, dates - lots of dark rape fruit. Flavors are similar to nose add in some toast with very good balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. To me so far this is the best of the series. Really good.
gave a cheers!

[2012 Vintage] 12oz bottle. Pours murky brown with a white head. Caramel malts and grassy, piney malts on the nose; definitely some oxidization. Flavour has a similar hop profile, grass and hops, cardboard, bready malts. This is nice, I'm very suprised the hops have lived this long, definitely aged. Good, but definitely suffering for the age.

Cask days 2016. Dark brown pour, Cloudy, with a big light brown head. Super sticky lacing, and sticky sweet Aroma. Lots of toffee, and caramel, with huge pine resin notes. Nutty, roasty, hints of coffee, boozy bread. Silky and viscous mouth feel, soft carb. Very high bitterness with huge pine resin finish. This is a big beer.
