Rocky white head stayed on clear amber coloured body. Sweet malt & berry aroma. Medium bodied, lively with a limp back. Spiced berry, light hops & grainy tastes with bitter peppery finish. Poor.

Lightly sweet with notes of pale bread, a little metal, dough, leaves, sun-kissed hay, biscuits. Light bodied with active, massaging carbonation.

Clear amber beer, short bubbly head. Smells sweet and fruity with a dash of caramel. Flavour is quite sweet initially with fruit, a little Christmassy spice and then it goes very boozy. Quiite sharp though not overpowering. it's not bad but despite the strength it doesn't have the richness that the best barley wines have to go with the blend of flavours.
