Aroma of straw and a slightly unpleasant sulphury alcohol mix. Slightly cloudy golden colour with a reasonable head for the style, over carbonated and positively fizzy. Flavour is a lot better than the other aspects of this beer, a basic malty sweetness opposed by firm bittering makes it pretty drinkable. Especially after a good stir to get rid of the fizziness!

Bottle from the Barearts Brewery/cafe, Todmorden, W.Yorks, 06.04.12 consumed at home Mon 9th April 2012 Pours hazy amber with white head. Initially there is a sweetish and the alcohol is noticeable but this is much the better of the Barearts beers that I’ve had so far. Quite fruity with a bag load of oranges steeped in alcohol, actually this is pretty good just when I was starting to become just a little bit disappointed with the Barearts offerings that I’d had so far this one comes up trumps, maybe this is their signature style.

A Mes rate. Bottle at Chris O’s "Has anyone seen my stool?" tasting.
Golden amber coloured, nice and clean and with a thin white head. Plenty of fruity booze and some really nice barley. A faint lick of bitterness in the finish but generally an enjoyable fruity barley wine.

Bottle at ChrisO "I’m Trying to see the Stool" pre GBBF2010 tasting. Gold, thick lasting beige head. Very drinkable barley wine. Lovely crystallised jellied frutis, touch of hop. Bit sweet but lovely.

Bottled@The Chriso rock the roof down pre-GBBFtasting. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, wood, nectar and some mild alcohol. Flavour is fruits, quite floral, mildly grassy, alcoholic and some slight nectary notes. Pleasant and nice barley wine.

Bottle @ Chriso’s pre-GBBF ’Raise the Roof’ Tasting ’10. A cloudy yellow beer with a fine and disppearing white head. Juicy and fruity aroma, a lemon sharpness and alcohol kick to boot. Tangerine and orange peel, some herbal yeast and that general barley wine base - dry and malty in the finish with a low bitterness.. Warm, medium body and mild carbonation.
