500ml bottle bought from Beautiful Beers and drunk at home. Thin brown, translucent with a creamy beige head. Aroma is hard to pin down: chocolate, cinnamon, some grassy notes, maybe a bit of mint. Taste isn't particularly sweet and there's a light and almost astringent bitterness near the finish. Dusting of cocoa in the aftertaste. Light body with robust carbonation. An odd beer but pretty good all in all.

A big thank you to Graham for giving me the chance to get to know English beers better, and my ignorance is still very, very great! Ce conte de Bob m'a laissé perplexe. Rangé dans les Barley Wine, il n'en a ni la densité ni la profondeur aromatique en proposant une texture très fine, des arômes sans de réelles nuances et par contre un alcool, à 8,8 % relativement présent. On s'approche en cela plus d'une belge forte que d'un Barley Wine. En verre nous sommes sur un ambré voilé sans mousse. Le nez est sur une alliance céréales et alcool qui la rapproche d'une Piraat. A la dégustation l'ensemble est relativement simple avec une toujours ce duo céréales/alcool agrémentée par de légères épices faisant toujours penser à une Piraat, avec une puissance, une vivacité moindre toutefois. Corpulence et longueur sont modérées pour leur part. Troublant ce Barley Wine.
