Not for me. Entirely too bitter.

I was excited to see them bring this back. I haven't had this since I was at the brewery in 2010. Sadly, they over hopped this batch. It's not the same... Too bitter. Damn it! 🤬🤬

Not a typo barleywine. Not as sweet as was expecting has lots of bitterness giving it more of a juniper taste

Mike S.

Pleasantly unsweet compared to many barleywines. Lots of malt and bitter notes. I almost get oaky barrel notes.

Dark roasty hop forward American "Barleywine"

Robert Trosper

Malty, hoppy, not exactly what I expected, but still pretty good.

Disappointing. Backwoods is a better Barleywine than this. And it’s an imperial scotch…

Alan C.

Tony A

The over-top bitter finish ruined this one...

Matt Miller

Definitely between styles. Dark for a barleywine. Roasty sweetness with a bitter hoppy finish

Patrick Carey

Brian Shaw

Didn’t dig it at all. But I still finished it he glass.

Barleywine 😍

Bob T

Tastes kind of like a black ipa, not a barleywome, and I don't like black ipas

Thanks Jeff!

As Jack Terricloth always says: if you're bored and you're listless, you just need a good nemesis.

Andy Grayson

Somewhere between a barleywine and a black triple IPA (I.e. wtf). Definitely different and definitely interesting. I think I like it...

Ian

Was pretty skeptical because I am not a huge barleywine fan, but this is tasty. Malty and sweet. A little bitter on the finish. The booze is hid remarkably well. Quite good for the style.

I feel like barleywine and a black IPA had a baby in my mouth! We became friends no Nemesis here.

Nice hoppy American Barleywine! Sweet syrupy nose, with a nutty caramel tongue but very easy to drink.

Voltron

More bitter than I prefer in a barleywine. It's still good, but I prefer a more malty sweet barleywine with a lightly bitter finish.

Super tasty. Dark fruit with bittering hoppy pine flavor over a full and malty base. Exceptionally smooth for the ABV. Super drinkable, great beer.

When did Barleywines get hijacked. This is entirely too much hops for the category. Call it what it is. A quadruple IPA. Anything other than barleywine. Because this ain’t it. It’s Founders and it’s good. Just not in my wheelhouse.

JMS

Ray Rigney

This one's growing on me. Initially, more hoppy on the nose and palate than I expected, even for an American style. As it warms, more of the sweet caramel and fruity notes are present. It's still pleasantly bitter, with a lingering herbal hop presence.

Verno

Dan Hosler

Brad Allison

Very hoppy. Caramel toffee. Review out soon

Love me a good barleywine.

Todd Adams

Jeff C.

Would rate higher if kit considering style. More like a stout or strong ale than anything else I would pick.

Andrew Cunningham

It’s not what you expect a barleywine to be. But it’s unique enough to stand out well. Not as sweet as most barleywines and significantly more hoppy. Founders may be macro these days but their quality seems to be going back in the right direction.

Ashish P.

Eric

Insanely bitter, odd roasted note, pine, sticky malt, Founders yeast, wood, incredibly astringent. Medium body, light carb, bitter and slightly roasty aftertaste. Yikes, this is tough.

Cory L.

Dark hints, deceiving For a barleywine, pretty decent though!

Scott E.

Dominic B.

Yes those are dog diarrhea pills in the background.

Jess Knutson

Very roasted notes that over powers it. This one my have to sit for a while

Very roasty and oaky with quite a bit of hops. It's a little strange, but it's not a bad beer. I'd have it again, but not often.

Joshua B.

Matt Simmons

Bitter licorice. Wormy nose. Need to try again as a first beer, not following another IPA

scott brown

Ahh I love this brew can’t wait to age it and see in a few years yummmmmm !! Malty boozy wish it was maple barrel aged like the first batch like 10 years ago lol 😝 this would be epic amazing then but it’s amazing good fresh I love it 👍🏼🍻

Matt P

I need to try more because strangely the issue is too little flavor and I doubt that
