Aug 9, 2008 GBBF 08. Deep amber appearance with a strongly alcoholic aroma. Lots of rich maltiness and caramel in the flavour, with the strength very evident. Not smooth enough to be a truly great barley wine though.

Dec 25, 2007 Bottle at home Christmas day 2007 ... Many thanks to Fin for this bottle... Golden amber ... overcarbonated foam head... light fruit hop nose ... again the over cabonation shows ... very lime citrus bit over ripe ... alcohol show a bit much ... quite drying hop ... i realy think this could have done with a few more years to remove the rough edges... a bit disapointing as barley wines go. This is interesting in that the beer gets better after sitting out for 30 mins or so
