The palate echoes the nose delivering a vibrant, malt driven core with strong support from the ale yeast, as well as a spicy rye accent. Medium-bodied with perfect balance thanks to a bright dose of acidity with a faint, citrus-like finish. 4.5 Stars

A very stylish Barley Wine. 4 Stars

Bright tawny color with a perfect clarity and a modest white head. The nose is wonderfully fruity and rich with a great sense of balance due to English hops and a modest - dare we say session worthy - strength. Interwoven is a fresh layer of toasted grains with accents of caramel and fruitcake. A treat. 4 Stars
