Bottled. Golden coloured. Cleaer. Off white head. Alcohol, fruits and light spices in the aroma. Flavour is alcoholdense with loads of dried fruits. Sweet and light spiced. Is well balanced and quite smooth, and eventhough the alcohol is notable, its pretty well hidden. Easy to drink barley wine.

A hazy orange beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet spicy and malty, and so is the flavor - here coriander stands out from the spices, but the alcohol also makes its presence known with a slight burn, before a citrusy bitter end sets in.

Bottled. Amber coloured. Alcohol, citrus fruits and caramel in the aroma. Sweet malty flavour. Bready and slightly alcoholic finish. Surprisingly short aftertaste.

Cask Handpump at the Cask & Cutler, Sheffield 06/10/2004 Golden colour and very strong in alcohol. Some fruit flavour and a slightly dry malt finish.

Bottled. Copper colour, rich head. Orangey nose. Salty, rich and full bodied with juicy, filling mouthfeel. Notes of drambuie and almonds. Despite all flavours it feels mild. Very enjoyable.

Bottle conditioned, Cockney pub Aarhus. Cloudy amber with minimal head. Plenty of hop in aroma and flavor. Rich and warming. Finishes grapefruity, earthy, bitter. Medium body. Very good.
