Best by 5/13: Pours a deep brown with cream white head. The nose is a bit leathery, musty (oxidized) and well old. Taste was a bit card board, malty, dusty. I think this beer was past it’s prime.

bottle dark red brown with dark beige head . aroma of malts , dried fruits , muscovado sugar . flavour is rich dark caramel , currants and alcohol traces with nice acidic finish . medium carbonation good body . a winter warmer . very nice

A little cream and sugar, but mostly flat aroma. Brown color. Disappoint. Sweet but with a flavor I just don’t enjoy. The alcohol isn’t really evident but the beer has a stringy/strained flavor. Bummer.

Brown 330ml bottle, best before Sept 2008, drank July 2007. Poured into one of my Gordon Thistle glasses. Very dark brown/red with a well formed off-white head. The head stayed throughout the drink. Aroma was sweet malts and plum bread. Tangy, malty, old Sharaz wine flavour, very different from other Barley wines I have had over the years. Complexed and interesting. A very good beer. By far the best beer I have had from the Robinson brewery.

Bottle from Sainsburys May 7th 12. Smells sweet of caramel, toffee, bubblegum. Deep ruby red with a tight creamy head lasting for the entire drink. Taste disappointed me. It had a peppery sourness I didn’t like which overpowered everything else. The chocolate version was much nicer and not as sharp.
