Keg and bottle. Black brown body with a thin beige head. Good lacing. Aroma of metal, vanilla, cocoa powder and prune. Flavour of milk chocolate and underripe plum. Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft carbonation. An easy drinking Porter.

Poured by gravity @ NERAX North cask festival. 11/16/2013 Haverhill, MA. Pale straw color, no head. Nose is light pale malt, citrus hops and bread. Taste is far from an IPA. Flavor mirrors the nose. Lots of bread malt with weak, subtle fruit and citrus notes. Texture is sweet and sticky. Works as American Pale but when I see IPA I am expecting hops and bitterness.This lacks both.

Bottle from Vino Wines. Dark brown body with ruby highlights. Medium off-white head that leaves sticky lacing marks. Very powerful aroma of smoky bacon, ash, meat and chocolate. Flavour of plum, ham, stewed tea and smoke. Thin to medium body with an oily texture. Soft carbonation. An unusual beer, and credit to Barney’s for trying something a bit different, but for me it doesn’t quite hit the spot. It tastes overly smoked and lacks the rich, chocolatey quality I like in a Porter.

A 33cl bottle at the Scran and Scallie. This was one of Barney’s better beers I felt. You get the spiciness from the rye which seems to make it taste a bit like a bitter. The body is a bit light but it’s fairly persistent and certainly drinkable.

33cl bottle from Provenance Wines. Appearance - golden with a very large head. Nose - tropical fruit probably mango but then some sweet citrus like lemon meringue pie.Taste - lemon and pine. Something estery too. Palate - medium bodied but a little too drying on the finish for me though the finish is very long. Overall - best beer I’ve had from Barney so far. Could be slightly more balanced though.

Aroma: Strawberry, peach and lightly roasted malt.
Appearance: Hazy amber body with a thin off-white head. No visible carbonation. Light lacing.
Taste: Vegetables, biscuit, grain and a slightly metallic finish. A bit boring.
Palate: Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Very light carbonation.
Overall: A bit wishy washy, no sharpness or complexity at all.

Bottle shared at the ChrisO Flags of Many Nations Easter Tasting 2013 - London. Pours lightly foggy gold with a fine, white cream head. Fairly sugary, lightly-toasted pale malts in the nose, faint cereal grains, hints of dry toast. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Light dry bread to finish, some pine needles, hay. Good.

Bottle from Aldi, Gorgie [06013]
Golden, clear, big frothy white head
Aroma - touch of citrus, soft sweet cereal malts, little on the nose
Taste as aroma, very soft citrus hop, soft cereal malts, ok, no off notes but rather dull
Palate - Light body, quite smooth palate. Finish is rather dry
Overall - Drinkable, but was just dull tbh
