Yeah, there's at least one good one, and you're right about the label.  It's
marketed around here as "Stingo Dark Ale", but it's a real barley wine, made
by the same people who make Watney's Red Barrel (yuck!).  Stingo is absolutely
lovely -- black, sweet, *very* strong, a fine brew.

I've only seen it in 12-ounce bottles, but an English buddy tells me it's
sold in 6- or 7-ounce bottles in the U.K.
