This Schwarz poured a deep red colour with a creamy tan head. Nice lacing. Scents include plum, must, brown sugar and spice. First swig was creamy, smooth and somewhat sweet with flavours of ripe fruit, a little must, malt and a spice flavour that I can’t for the life of me put my finger on. Finish is lightly bitter with malty spice lingering.

This Imp stout poured a deep black colour with a dark brown, chocolate head. Minimal lacing. Scents include alcohol, dark chocolate, mint and a little coffee. First swig was very strong flavoured. Slightly sweet, flavours of Melloids cough drops, cocoa, very black coffee, smoke, burnt toast and a little mint. Finish is burnt, smokey and sweet. A real bold number!

Amber colour, unclear. Some malt, a bit perfumey, medium body, caramel, light sourness; it's a good strong Ale, by far not a Barley Wine though.

Amber-brown, thin head. This has a fair bit of malt - a slight biscuity, lots of caramel but a good one, toasty, is that rye barrel? It's pretty fun. Dryish, doesn't seem like a bw as much...ok English.

500mL bottle, pours a murky dark reddish brown with a medium off-white head. Aroma brings out bready caramel, a little barrel, and some resins. Flavour is loaded with rye barrels upfront, with bready caramel and alcohol. For such a low ABV barley wine, this is rather hot. A little jagged but it's nicely put together.
