Mike Ferneyhough: high praise indeed comparing to fullers VA. Interesting that it is similar and clean with the Barrel ageing. Looks like a great brewery !

Boozy, syrupy sweet barrel nose. First notes are sweet, then quickly turns boozy. Server told us, "It's almost like a shot of rum." I agree.

I love this beer! It's smooth & sweet. A slight taste of rum with a great barleywine flavor. What's amazing is they kept it under 12%

Cherry brandy/bakewell tart. Not that far away from one of the fruitier years of Fullers Vintage Ale. Clean, but packing a massive punch
