Murky brown beer, good size cream colour head. Caramel on the nose, jammy fruits and esters too. Smooth palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Taste largely follows the nose, caramel malts and estery fruits. A little spice is added. Light dry finish. Delighted to see Little Valley brew a barleywine. It’s lacks a little richness and punch but it’s decent.

Bottle from Old Shambles Tavern in York. Appearance - golden with a nice fluffy head. Nose - lemon followed in by cardboard and a musty malt thing. Taste - more lemon and malt. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - a bit like drinking a liquid version of a malt bag. A bit bland.

Bottle. Pours cloudy very dark brown with airy tan head. Clear aroma of roast and malt, with touches of coffee and mill chocolate. Bitter, roasty flavour with estery and malty notes and touches of coffee, lactose and hops. Roasty and estery aftertaste. Reasonable.

Bottle, 4.8%. Fruity aroma, has a little paint thinner to it. Almost black colour, seems clear. Big stable light brown head. The flavour is roasted and creamy to begin worth. Turns more bitter with a coffee note and a touch of sourness.
