Can. Near opaque dark brown beer, light comes through the edges. Good bubbly tan head. Quite an airy palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. The malts don't feel heavy for a 12.5% beer. A pleasant light smokiness rides over a touch of malt cream. Soft caramel underneath. Not getting any chocolate based flavours here. Ripe fruits on the back end layered with mild hop fruits and modest bitterness. Pretty light and crisp finish. A curious but tasty affair. If you had given this to me blind and told me it was a barleywine, I would have believed you. It's also pretty light all things considered. The flavours layer nicely, all of which makes it dangerously drinkable.

Cask at White Horse, Hedgerley, Bucks. An amber coloured pour with almost no head on top. Sweet, fruity, caramel, bitter/sweet. Rather unbalanced boozy effort which is a surprise for Wylam.

Keg at The Antelope, Godalming. Opaque cola brown. Foamy tan head. Aroma has coffee with a vanilla edge. Flavourwise it's sour with some bitterness. Then a sweetness appears into the finish. Medium bodied. Creamy. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Noice.
