Jan 11, 2009 0.5 l bottle. Amber color with small head. The aroma and flavor is sweet, very fruity, slightly vinous and slightly nutty with orange marmelade, apricot and warming alcohol. Soft oily palate. I like most of the Fullers beers but this one lacks in character and is fairly bland for a barley wine.

Dec 27, 2008 Rich and chewy, this has the rich consistency I would expect from a beer of this strength. The aroma is fruity and the flavour predominantly malty at first. It is very sweet fruity, with dried fruit, rind, and perhaps a hint of apple. The finish ushers in warmth and bitterness with a suggestion of citrus.

Dec 22, 2008 500 ml bottle. Very nice amber orange colour, decent-sized dense head. Fruits and berries, caramel malts and a hint of alcohol in the aroma. The flavour is caramel-malty, with dark fruits, oranges, spices and a warm bitter finish. Balanced and very enjoyable.

Ruby beer, fruity aroma. Rich, maly, vinous. Sour cherries, redcurrants. Quite complex, but not as outstanding as the cask version.

Dec 11, 2008 Big aroma of oranges, caramel, molasses, alcohol, dried fruits, and hops. Deep orange and amber color with a minimal but sturdy head. Sweet, caramel malts, with dried fruits, orange, cherry, a touch of tobacco, alcohol and just enough hops to keep it from cloying. Nice residual sugars, tasting like molasses. Nice balance, sweet but not overly so. Great winter warmer.
