UPDATED: JUL 7, 2021 Bottle of 33cl, in a Trappist glass; from the fridge. Drinked @home Old note, for counting purpose : A good take on the old fashioned 'beerefied'. Good one.

UPDATED: DEC 15, 2020 On tap at Wakefest. Pours a dark brown with small beige head. The aroma is bourbon, toffee, wood, dark fruit. Slick body, raisin, fig, toffee, boozy finish, very good.

UPDATED: APR 13, 2020 A 330ml bottle from Love Wine in Jersey 2 years ago, bottled Dec 2017. It pours a near black with a white beige head. Aromas & tastes of bourbon, caramel, vanilla, orange zest & sweet malt. Medium to full body. The high ABV is well hidden. Sweet malty finish. Outstanding

UPDATED: FEB 12, 2020 Bottle - pours dark brown - nose and taste of boozy caramel, bitters, orange zest - medium/full bodied

UPDATED: FEB 2, 2020 Bottle at home from Siren, 2nd February 2020. Pours a chestnut brown. Aroma is bourbon, sweet, fruit. Taste is syrupy, the whiskey is there, some barrel, very sweet, thick body, light citrus, some sharper edges towards the finish and liquor plus more sweetness, good, but probably a little too sweet.

UPDATED: OCT 1, 2019 Very English, full of toffee, caramel, cocoa, and molasses, backed up by modest bourbon notes with traces of orange, maple, and oak. Good, but very, very sweet, in need of some American hopping to balance out the sugars.

Brown colour, not much head. Rich malt nose and flavour, sweet, with lots of bourbon; no orange; touch of Port in the finish.
There are more complex Barley Wines, but at least this is rich enough. Excellent.

UPDATED: JUN 24, 2019 330ml bottle from John's Marketplace shared at Alex's. Appearance: clear dark copper. Aroma: bourbon and dark fruits, some candied oranges. Taste: similar, quite sweet. Overall: very nice.

UPDATED: MAY 12, 2019 Pours clear dark mahogany with a one finger tan head. Aroma is dried fruit, citrus and bourbon. Taste is toffee and plum, moving to orange, wood and roast. Finish is orange, roast and bourbon. A good barliey wine.

UPDATED: MAR 15, 2019 330mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a very quickly dissipating beige head. Aroma is quite decadent, with lots of bourbon barrel character upfront, followed by a touch of orange zest, toffee, and caramel. Flavour is extremely sweet, with heaps of brown sugar and caramel upfront, accentuated by bourbon barrels that round this out. However, this gets borderline cloying in sweetness with each sip. It's decadent, but can get to be a bit much.
