22oz bottle, shared with friends. Hazy red-orange color, fine floating sediment floating inside. Awesome, smooth texture. Really nice aroma, dark fruit, but also wheaty, really interesting and unique but still most definitely a barleywine. Nice rich lightly sweet taste.

Pale yellow, spicy, honey, very sweet wheat character. Ok, but not a favorite beer style of mine.

Bottle; hazy orange with beige head; aroma-sweet, caramel, ripe fruits, orange; taste- heavy sweetness, medium bitterness, full body, sticky, average carbonation, bitter finish. Too sweet for me. Complex

Pulled out of the cellar for the Super Bowl - had been down there for some time and was looking forward to giving it a spin. Aroma was not strong, but very pleasant and sweet. Taste was surprisingly good - definitely more mellow than the 11% abv would suggest, but I laid it down for some time. Smooth and easy on the palate, this one was a notch or two better than I expected.

Medium amber coloured and almost clear. Has a white head, mostly diminishing. Aroma is heavy malty, toasted, molasses, caramel. Faint citrus notes. Flavor starts heavy sweet, light acid, light bitterness, harmonic. Syrupy texture and flat carbonation.

port aroma,amber, hazy, white foam, light sweetness, lightly bitter, medium body, creamy, soft carbonation, soft alcoholic finish.

Gingery colour. Seemed a little old and oxidised on the nose (not sure how old this bottle was) with some orangey hops. Firm, hoppy and quite hot on the palate. Quite tasty.

At Chriso New Year 2011/12 tasting. Hazy amber colour with lasting beige head. Toffee boozy. I couldnt drink a whole bittle of this hot and boozy.
