330mL bottle, pours a dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma of toasted nuts, toffee, dark fruits. Flavour of toffee, toasted nuts, and some odd minty notes. Doesn’t strike me anywhere near as a barley wine, more like an English winter ale. Pleasant flavours and quite enjoyable. Decent.

330 ml bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu, Tampere.
Pours a dark reddish brown colour with a small beige foamy head. Aroma of dark dry fruits and caramel. Flavour of toasted malts, nuts, citrus and dried fruits. Medium bodied with a slick mouthfeel. Sugary, malty and warming finish. Easy barley wine.

Cask@Burton Winter Beer Festival 2006. Brownish black beer with a lighly malty aroma and a malty, thick flavour with a slightly dry finish. Overall a nice malty/sweet beer.

Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Very dark amber-brown. Sweet malt aroma with some fruit, possibly blackcurrant. Sweet, almost cloying honeyed taste with golden syrup and the thick spoonfuls of medicinal malt I was made to eat as a child. Very slight bitterness plus a lot of alcohol. A decent warming winter potion, but I wouldn’t want a session on this. Especially as it cost me over three quid for a pint.

33 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu. Rated on 22.05.2010
Aroma is malty with raisins, some ripe fruits, toffee and caramel. Flavour has lots of somewhat harsh malt. Also some ripe fruits and raisins. Very English BW.

Bottle: On the label it says best before 11-97, so whatever year that makes it. Aroma of wine, vinegar, chocolate, and a little tartness. Pours a dark reddish-brown with lots of sediment. Small off-white head. Not a lot of flavor up front. Has a vinuous, caramel, chocolate, and light apple finish. Thanks to Styles.
