Deep and smooth. Barley popping in the nose. Sweet, thick fig and dates in the main very rich taste. You can feel the barrel aged oak in this slow sippa...nice way to end a crisp fall weekend.. thanks Geggy!!

2008 bottle aged 13 years. Malty and smooth wine flavor. Wow. 15% baseline…who knows the ABV hidden by this.

13 years aged. Incredibly smooth. Layers upon layers of flavor. Malty. Basically a fine aged wine. Very dangerous. Boozy. Malty.

The annual tasting from the birthday 4-pack: Not too boozy, but there's still a little harshness. I think a little bit more caramel coming through compared to the last tasting.

Some moments in life demand DFH's finest. This is one of those.

So much goodness in each sip. Lots of Figs and Dates which gives way to a mild spice, white pepper maybe? Malty finish

It’s not actually Olde Schoole, which I adore but haven’t had in years. This is home brewed Alf Garnett’s Cor Blimey English Barleywine. I brewed it in 2018 and this is the last bottle. Basically tasty, but flat as a flapjack.

Bottled Jan 2017. Buried in backyard feb 2017. Survived Irma and Fl heat and winters. Dug it up 4 wks ago. Very boozy lots of figgy date flavor and nose. Thin mouthfeel. Boozy finish and long aftertaste. Aged well I suppose. Cant compare to a fresh one

Either 2012 or 2013 version. Phenomenal for 8 year aging. So smooth. Raisin notes with subtle perfume/spice notes coming through

Can’t seem to find a date on the bottle. I know I’ve had it for years.
