30/03/2014. Deep amber/orange looks beautiful. Fruity aroma of malts, sweet oranges, sweet apples, caramel, mandarin, peach. Flavour is fruity and caramel sweetness with some alcohol. Very full sticky mouthfeel, thick body. Surprisingly easily drinkable considering the alcohol content. A majestic beer. 03/03/2015 drank 01/04/2009 bottle.

Aroma of malts, dark fruits, raisins, plum, chocolate, molasses. Flavour is very sweet, dark fruits, molasses. Sticky mouthfeel, finishes dry. Love the aroma, but the sweetness is a bit too heavy for my taste.

Aroma of malts, fruits, apricots, vanilla, oak, bourbon. Flavour is sweet malts, a bit boozy. A bit too sweet and cloying for my taste. Still, a nice Barleywine, I especially enjoyed the oak flavours.

Moderate sweet, over moderate bitterness. Medium body, just below average crbonation. OK IPA with a twist.
