What Our Editors Thought
“Caramel, wood, hay with a light peanut-shell nuttiness. Warm and malty in the sip as that defined nutty character overrides any lighter caramel notes. Curiously cool and detached.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Classically British in so many ways. Plum hits up front, with light toast. Deep caramel with dates. The flavor leans more toward the bread and soft caramel, oozing brown sugar and raisin. The velvety mouthfeel is the star.”
What the Brewers Say
“Classic English barleywine featuring 100 percent Fawcett malts.”
