This is a wonderful dry stout. Reminds me of a blacker murpheys as there is plenty of root/plant taste. Finishes a tad watery, but hey, so does guinness.

A well made beer. I agree, can be syrupy, but the presentation is great in a big broad wine goblet. Lots of hops. have to try it again. Rerate. 2002. I think theyve worked this beer out very well. I see hardly any syrupy presence, just a strong, hoppy barleywine that goes down well. I suppose to be constructive, could use some more complex flavors, as this is your basic tons of malted barley and hops, with that characteristic plum/cherry/raisin taste.

Nice strong amber beer. Earthy brown in color, very little head. Almost reminiscent of another era (english strong ale) as it has ample caramel and a nice thick malty taste. Just the right amount of hops. Subtract some points because the taste is a bit muddled and dosent finish as clean.
