Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - December. No longer available in bottle.
The original winter warmer, Tally-Ho is actually a barley wine brewed to a nineteenth century recipe. It’s sweet; it’s heart-warming; it’s rich - but watch out, it’s got a kick like a drayman’s horse!

Cocoa and tea body with an ok head. English. Flat cola, prunes and brown sugar in the flavor. Ther's very little hops in the flavor or aroma. It's mellow with a lingering sweetness.

A Mes rate. Gravicask 2008 version from the Bree Louise. Adnams seem to be doing a lot right these days and this latest version of Tally Ho is really the cream of the crop. Very dark mahogany, no head. Fantastic colour though. Full on rich barley wine. Tonnes of burnt sugar, roasted barley, incredible creme brûlée character all round and a beautiful lick of warming alcohol. Really drinkable considering the strength and luscious busomy body. Massively good beer.

A dark brown coloured beer with reddish tints in the light, but no head. A distinct toasted malt nose with burnt sugar, liquorice, treacle and a touch of smoke. The taste is bitter sweet, toasted malt, winey, sherry-like, plus liquorice. woody and a touch grassy. The finish is bitter sweet but smooth. (Cask - Easter Beer Festival @ The Fox & Hounds, Heacham, Norfolk).

cask pbf’05 Very nice Christmas beer. Did drink it in the summer... at the Peterborough Beer Festival. Sweet beer, but nice balance with dark fruits and malts. Also clearly alcohol present. I would realy like to have some of this beer in a cask during Christmass!

label stated "best before 11/97" whoa.. i dont know if you wanna call this a barleywine, this is some dark malt goodness, nice rich molasses, thick palate, very drinkable, not a typical barley wine but a definite good beer

Cask conditioned - Handpump - Bridge House Tower Bridge London (RB London Xmas Crawl 2004). A very dark beer with aromas of raisins and Christmas cake. The taste is also Christmassy with hints of brandy alcohol. Lots of very nice fruity malt tastes. A good beer. Best of the Day.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Very dark brown. Rich on butterscotch from aroma to finish. Full bodied and solidly malty with soft mouthfeel. Not too sweet. Salty finish with licorice and balanced bitterness. Warming and thoroughly pleasant, albeit not overly complex.
