Cask at Chelmsfaasarhd Beer Fest. Note this beer has 4 'X' and at 12.7% is a deal stronger than the 10.0% XXXK. Also, as per brewer notes on the earlier beer, the number of X's is meant to denote strength. A mild to medium haze on this amber beer, very small and short cream colour head. Smooth palate, decent fine carbonation. Soft caramel and cream malts, slightly savoury caramel. A little unsweet and slightly dark toffee. Pronounced ripe fruits on the back end, somewhat dominated by ripe pear. A pear and caramel smooth and slightly viscous finish. Decent barleywine.

(Cask at White Horse, Parson's Green, London, 19 Nov 2023) Dark amber colour with no head. Malty nose with bread, toffee and nuts. Malty taste with notes of bread, toast, biscuits, caramal, toffee, nuts and a gentle earthy bitterness in the finish. Light body, dry. Tasty and well balanced. Quite nice.
