Deep golden with a short, bubbly head.
Very fruity and malty, but maybe a little thin.
A lot of sweet maltiness though; chocolate, toffee and raisins.

May 25, 2007 Creamily bodied, headless, red amber Barley Wine whiffing of sweet, cakey malt and butterscotch. Hints of caramel and madeira cake with a dusting of gingery spice. Finishes quite drily. No stickiness or burning alcohol whatsoever. A wickedly drinkable bedtime sipper.

May 19, 2007 Bottle. Dark gold with a small head. Aromas are sweet caramel malts with pear, brown sugar, spices and lots of alcohol. Flavours are sweet and syrupy caramel and toffee malts with some burnt toffee notes. Sticky sweetness with caramelised Autumn fruit. Prickly hops on the finish with fair bitterness. Good stuff.

Apr 15, 2007 The aroma is malt, but a dark carmelly sort. Translucent amber color. Not much head, but there is transient lacing. The start is malty sweetness, kind of thickly coating the tongue. The mouthfeel is substantial, and the malt candy aspect is offset by some stone fruit contributions. The somewhat sticky sweetness goes on into the finish, where it is reasonably balanced by hop. Really quite fantastic.

Apr 2, 2007 Bottle from Tuckers Maltings. Poured a rich golden colour with quite a bit of sweetness from the malts showing themselves in the aroma. I didn’t mind this but felt that the alcohol was just too harsh to really get into it, bit sticky and fruity but that alcohol was just so difficult to get away from.
