From a 375ml can on 30/4/2024. Pours a deep golden light amber with a small head. The nose is sweet and malty - caramel and toffee, brown sugar. Taste follows suit - again caramel, toffee and brown sugar, with dried and stewed fruit, Christmas pudding and citrus peel. Finsihes sharp and moderately bitter, with the sweet-bitter balance really hitting the sweet spot. The mouthfeel is syrupy and a touch oily, with softish to moderate carbonation. Presents like the big beer it is but is perhaps a touch too easy to down. An absoluitely cracking barley wine.

Can. Clear amber with a modest near white head. Spicy, somewhat singed toffee aroma with some prunes, light bread. Malty but dry with a spicy firm bitter finish. Good autumnal drinking.

Should have had this last week after BreakThru The One with All the Citra in “Must Beer Thursday” revisit to NBC in 1994 (although that might have resulted in my ending up in ER I guess). Mad About this one—nice light citrus notes, super crisp, moreish
