Bottle from Aldi, Eccles. Deeper amber coloured with a thin head. Has a thinnish toffee aroma and taste, but easy-drinking and sessionable.

Fairly clear light, golden beer with a bubbly white head and a dry, bitter aroma of citrus. Flavour follows on as you’d expect with a touch of lemony sweetness. It’s surprising how light and sweet the aftertaste is, with a bit of bitter hop on the tongue throughout. Very drinkable.

Bottle. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Clear, dark, reddy brown. Swirl and halo of tan. Nose has vine fruit. Baked apple. Thick, sweet malts. Soft toffee. Taste is fruity, vinous, and tangy bittersweet. Plenty of body. Some sweet chew. Finishes tangy, fruity, and vinous. Tasty and drinkable, but not my bag really.

bottle. Nose is toffee, malt, dates, brown sugar, hint of honey. Taste toffee, dates, prune, malt, treacle, hint of light peat and smoke, some red berry and apple, a little wood. Moutfeel is slick. A very nice barley wine, and the hint of a wood and the darker malt flavours, gave a suitable nod to it’s area of origin.
