21st November 2022; Monthly Shrewsbury Beer Share, five guys and loads of beer. Cheers Mike for the 375ml bottle of this; BB 19th November 2025. Rich amber body, weak head. Sweet, malty and a great body depth, boozy and Sherry like; really good.

375ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Nov 22. Proper good barley wine this, as you'd expect from an old chimneys collab. Nice deep fruitiness, leathery glimpses, toffee, layered dark malts, balanced glowing dark fruits.. lovely sipper with an evolving depth of flavour.
