Excellent Barley Wine. Has an almost Port flavor and nose. Not bitter like American styles. Thick and good feeling palate. I really enjoyed this one.

Aug 9, 2008 Aroma is nice with raisins, cherries, slightly nutty with some aromas of alcohol. The beer looks fantastic, it pours with a big thick rocky head but this diminishes into a smaller tighter head. The beer is a deep red color. The taste is pleasant with lots of dry fruit flavors, and a bit of toasty malt and a light bitterness.
The palate is nice as this drinks far easier than many barley wines I enjoy the velvety mouth feel!
Last time I had this (5 years ago) it was one of the first beers I ever had to pour out, I quite enjoy it now.

Jul 9, 2008 Beige creamy weak head. Brown colour. Aroma is malty, fruity (raisins) with alcohol and light nutty, coffe and caramel notes. Flavor is malty too with raisins and caramelly tones, ending in a more balanced finish. Medium to full bodied.

Jul 7, 2008 Deeply flavourful and lovely berry and old fruitcake flavours that you’d expect to enjoy from a barley wine. The colour of this beer (despite coming via ship from halfway across the world) was deep ruby and had a head that stood up well.
A beer worth savouring.
