B-. Kind of harsh when young, but great with age. 2009=A with sherry notes. 2019 seems a bit more mellow 4-9-19 as far as bitter hops, loads of malty caramel and alcohol in the aroma, mild floral hops.

Delicious, complex hoppy malty beast.

Not crazy 'bout barleywine beers, but this one was great. Good balance, not boozy at all, hidden nicely, and not overpowering. Great finish/aftertaste. 4-Stars(Enjoyed on tap)

22 oz bottle into a tulip glass. Pours a dark nutty brown with light carbonation. Not good head retention but decent lacing. Mouthfeel is rich and heavy. At 9.6 % this is a strong brew. Aroma is heavy on toasted malt and caramel. Taste is smoky malts with a resiny hop kick. Maybe even some Bourbon in there. Finish is very bitter and the high alcohol content is obvious. First Barleywine I've ever had. Not a big fan, too hoppy and too strong for me. Maybe I'll try it again some time in the future to see if my tastes change. Until then, I won't be drinking this again anytime soon.
