This is a BIG beer. An English style Barley Wine that has had truckloads of raspberries and a touch of vanilla added, and then has been lightly oaked. Fruity and smooth but with a sturdy malt backbone. A big beery Bosie (Welsh: Cwtch; English: Hug).

330ml can from Fierce website shop (£3.75):
Bright caramel to amber in colour with a 0.5cm, bubbly head that fades to a thin lacing around the circumference after 15 seconds or so, with a tiny patch in the middle too. It's relatively sweet on the nose with caramel & sugars initially, I got some summer fruits & raspberry with a little strawberry in there too with orange notes & hints of vanilla to see things out. It's almost excessively strong tasting though with a lot of alcohol showing on top of the raspberries & strawberry flavours that come through from the nose; it also seems quite sour at this point too with lots of tart & funky touches featuring alongside some toffee & caramel flavours with a sugary sweetness following on behind. It's a medium to full bodied beer with a smooth feel & surprisingly strong carbonation for the style. It's definitely a strong beer with a little too much alcohol showing but it did remain drinkable throughout.

Collab with Tiny Rebel. 12oz can. Poured out a dark amber color with a small, khaki-colored head of foam. It smelled of raspberry, vanilla and strong toffee. Sweet fruity notes with hints of vanilla and a good dose of maltiness.
