Bottle from House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy amber body with a beige head that holds well. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange zest and glazed cherry. Flavour of orange and golden syrup. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. Tangy and delicious. Much better than the English Barley Wine 2023, which was disappointingly thin.

Beer number eighteen at the Great British Winter Beer Festival 2025. Last one , strongest one sampled, quite boozy but chocolate dominates its aftertaste and there's a smoothness to its texture.

Beer number sixteen at the Great British Winter Beer Festival 2025. Hoppy effort, fuller-bodied, some floral notes alongside a lasting bitterness.

1/3 cask pour at GBBF Winter. Creamy dark brown pour, ring of beige head. Boozy aroma hits first, bourbon with sweet roasty malts and notes of chocolate. Taste gets really roasty, light smoky flavors, woody, chocolate. Nice big syrupy stout.
