Can direct from WD. It pours ever so slightly hazy deep copper - amber with a small bubbly white head. The aroma is lovely... rich and unctuous, oily, heady notes of whisky, dried fruits, berry, orange marmalade, vanilla, baked goods, fruit pie, marzipan, toffifee and fruit cake. The taste is firmly dry, bitter - sweet, toothy, chewy, warming booze, tannin, dry oak, leathery, dried orange peel, kumquat, marmalade, fragrant, floral, spicy, fruit cake, marzipan, whisky soaked oak, nutty, varnished oak, dried berry and hint of smokey charred wood with a drying finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Not a big heavy barley wine at all, more classical. Lovely whisky character. Nice one.

Foamy white head on slowly carbonating clear amber coloured body.
Malt & citrus aroma.
Malt, brown sugar, rye, nectarine, caramel & dank tastes with a bitterly hopped finish.
All mixed up but goes together so well.
Excellent!
