BlairExceptional04 Mar 2010 Introduced my brother to this and I think it rocked his world. He never wants to drink wine again, just replace it with this. I'd agree with him.
BlairExceptional22 Dec 2009 Just amazing, so rich and flavoursome. Raisins adn other dark fruit dominate, wow.
IanExceptional10 Oct 2009 If I could rank this higher I would. 2004 version half pint. Must have taken me the best part of an hour to drink. During which time I went from being completely speechless to raving about how good this is. Raisins, molasses, nuts, dry oloroso sherry, it has it all. And not a hint of alcohol presence in the taste which for a barley wine shows how good this is. If you haven't been here and haven't had it. Come. You won't be disappointed. But have a pint of Hophead first.
AndrewExceptional10 Oct 2009 Ok, I've only had a few sips of Ian's but hell-fire this was an unbelievable beer. I would say that it had no alcohol in it which is a fantastic testament to its quality. Molasses, raisins, Christmas cake. Hell of a beer.
BlairExceptional28 Apr 2009 I was given this by one of the customers. Took 3 of us an hour to get through a small glass of it. So rich and flavoursome.
BlairExceptional07 Apr 2009 Unfortunately only had a small glass of this to try, but it was sensational. It tasted like a cross between a strong ale and a sherry. Very sweet, perfect for a christmas dinner.

AndrewExceptional29 Jan 2005 Just like a sherry. Bit too strong for a session though!
IanExceptional29 Jan 2005 Sensational barley wine with raisins and brown sugar balanced by a hoppy finish. Magnificent. Like drinking a good sherry
