Cask at GBBF 25. Clear gold. Frothy foamy white head. Aroma combines malts and grains and low key fruit. Flavourwise it has light fruit including citrus and a malty bready body. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Interesting enough gold.

Old rating - This 330ml bottle was a gift from a friend who visited the Isle of Arran. I've kept it in my dark cellar for 2 or so years. I've not been a fan of barley wines so far, but this one might change my mind, as it was outstanding, very tasty with the 8% ABV very well hidden. Different bottle of beer in my home No. 1936
