So I've blathered on a bit about barley wines and oak aging over the last couple of months and quite naturally you're getting fed up, wondering where the hell this beer is. Wonder no longer. It's in the Shop as I write, all labeled up and on sale.
Now don't be expecting a beer you can guzzle down in 5 minutes: dig this groovy one in small quantities, late at night, after you've finished operating heavy machinery. I had it with a rich beany stew and new potatoes last night and it were, well, spot on.
This beer has spent 30 days resting in a Rondo 2005 french oak cask from the mighty Chapel Down vineyard in deepest Kent, absorbing fine qualities from the red wine infused wood. If it's a regular beer flavour you're after you've arrived at the wrong place. However, if you adventure fearlessly in the flavour world, step right this way......

Aha! It all becomes clear now. Lure me up Pyson's Creek with the offer of free beer tasting and then dangle the irresistible temptation that is your barmy barley wine under my nose. I knew you were a cunning blighter but truly Sir Ed, this takes the chocolate hobnob!!
O, I'd hardly need to be that cunning to fool you, would I?
Hey Eddie, do you think you could trick O into bringing some home?
