Black with rich beige head. Very roasty and very dry. Light bodied. Earthy. Very biter finish. Flavourful. Perhaps a little too light bodied, but still very good.

Orange coloured, cloudy, no head. Pours thick. Restrained aromatic hop aroma. Fruity, very malty, hints of pineapple. Bitter finish with hop aroma all the way through. This excellent barley wine is dominated by the chewy malt.

Pours beutifully cloudy reddish brown with a firm brown/beige head. Nice strong fruity, nutty, spicy aroma. It is balanced dryish and is firmly malty. Roasty and earthy with hints of oranges. Bitterish finish. Very complex and superbly balanced. This is an outstanding ale!
