Cask at the moon under water Watford. A clear mid gold coloured pour with a lasting speckled white head. Aroma is subdued, midget gems, mint, leafy hop,. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, bready grains, vanilla, sponge cake, vague leafy hop, light spice in the finish. Palate is semi sweet, watery mellow cask condition. Very vague and forgettable.

440ml can. Clear orange but a lot of suspended sediment, beige head. Aroma of toffee/caramel, some marzipan, dried fruits. Taste is sweet, caramel, toffee, marzipan and slight nuttiness, dried fruits - raisins, figs, prunes etc., warming alcohol whisky notes. Medium-full bodied, smooth. Decent BA barley wine, one might have expected more from it.
