Quite dark, indeed! Menthol pine roast. Alt-barleywine?

Barleywine is Life. But this BW is a good example of why I much prefer English style BW to American. This is aggressively hopped and the bitterness and pine clashes too much with the roasted malts for my preferences

I like the darkness of this beer, it's just a little bitter for me. A fun pick, though!

Very complex! Slight sweetness in a bitter drying base with a burn finish! Not like other BWs. Go Bruins! #GIAG™️ #FOUTR™️

This beer is hard to describe, like someone dumped an west coast IPA and a roasty stout and mixed it into a barley wine. I probably should have aged it to smooth out the edges

Despite it having a good amount of hops to balance the extra malty flavor, it doesn't really have a balance. It's extra sweet up front, and nom pleasantly bitter on the back end of the palate.

Solid Barleywine. Founders really stepped it up with this one.

Sort of like a barely wine. Lol. Glad its high gravity

Very good beer. Thank you William the Dr B. I know the score is worth much higher but tonight I’m working on my bell curve. 😂 Everything tonight gets a 3.25, unless it’s a Boulevard Brewing Co Ginger Lemon Radler, I’ll go against tonight’s rule with 0.25

Oops. Almost forgot to check it in. Sweet caramel taste with a bitter finish.

Not normally a fan of barley wines but this was the best I’ve had. Still probably wouldn’t purchase it again. Had the maltiness of a quad and the bitterness of an IPA.
