Bottle (in NZ), pours a amber colour with a off white foamy white head. Caramal malt aroma, with spicy hop notes. The hops are peppery on the palate, the malt is fruity at first and then gets more complex - medicinal, aniseed, and nutty. The finish is just a touch cloying. It’s a good barley wine, but I’m not sure it does enough to make me want more.

50 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown with a chalk white head. Light hoppy aroma with a vague spice note. Flavour is quite spiced and with a hops note swept through the palate. Mild liqourice note mixed with dense caramel malt flavour and a spiced bitterness. Light liqourice into the far finish.
