Bigger than the 2013. Syrupy. Has aged WELL. I'm not normally one for a barley wine, but this, it's less in your face than others and very palletable.

Parallel testing here we go! Lighter in colour then the 2012, and not quite as syrupy. The effect was immediate when pouring. This had an ever so small head, just a shimmer. Where as the 12 didn't. Tastes like a soft barley wine even after nearly a decade

Parallel tasting with the 2013. The 2013 is slightly punchier.

Well this is a treat. Mellowed all the way out. But then, after 10 years it would be!

This has changed a lot since my last review (April '19). This is smooth as now - minimal marmite detected, just a really approachable barleywine (which is quite the compliment)

So good. A relic of a brewery long gone.
