Thomas Hardy's Ale, Golden Edition 2018

Amber colored Barley Wine laden with bronze glints. On the nose, straight away the bouquet has impact, intensity and complexity with notes of both candied and alcohol-soaked fruit, dried figs, fresh tobacco and chocolate, while a caramel sensation is perceived but remains in the background. In the mouth, the initial sensation is of incredible density and softness, a silky warmth accompanying memories of bitter orange marmalade, dried fruit and chestnut honey.
The finale provides a refreshing, slightly sharp hint that adds harmony and balance.
Enjoy immediately, but it can also be stored in the wine cellar to taste its evolution over time.
