3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/202012 vintage. Pours a rich copper color with a finger of eggshell colored foam. The nose is full and layered. Nice toffee, caramel and straw. The palate follows nicely with a little more complexity. Dark fruits mingle with boozy soft sherry notes and brown sugar. Nice bitterness creeps in on the backend.

This barley wine has some major kick to it. Very attractive dark copper color with next to no head. No lacing what so ever. Has alcohol burn with a general balance of flavor. Great beer if you need or want a very quick buzz.

Nose shows golden syrup, bready melanoidin notes, sultanas and soft booze.
Very rich, malty flavours. Bready melanoidin malt, alcohol, sultanas, brandy. A little harsh.
Slick body, carbonation seems a bit high.
