Not near as thick as most barleywine's I've tried in the past. For me that's a plus. Very malty with a strong biter after bite. Nothing special about this one to me. Buy a single, if you can.

Barleywine in body, but with an evil soul. Pour is dark mahogany brown. Nose is strong booze and heavy caramel. Complex tastes, mostly malt but with some peat, blackstrap molasses, and a heavy-handed bitterness from start to finish. An enemy indeed!

Barelywine with a lot of bitter to it. Slight chocolate taste as it warms. Good not great.

Sweet medium roasted maltiness. Boozy warming. Hops come through. Slightly piney. Slightly chocolatey. I haven't had a Founders barleywine since 2012! I'm not usually a big fan of BW's, but this one is pretty dang good.

Was expecting a Bigfoot clone. Nope! Malty, roasty and piney. Can’t wait to see what some age does to these.

Little too bitter for my taste in barleywines.

Drinkable for the abv, missing some of the toffee/raisin for a great barleywine

Not at all what I’ve expected for years. Bitter and roasty. Tastes like a thin (from the abv) cascadian.

Not very versed in barley wine style brews, but wow...this really packs in the flavor. Roasty/ malty front end with a piney hop presence. Drinks like a deep brown ale on steroids.

Not a huge fan. Not really distinctive. Sort of a slightly boozy resiny brown.

Sweet nose. Roasty forward. Crisp, hoppy bite. Earthy, piney hop. Medium body. Strong. Sweet, roasted, slight smoky malt. Piney hop finish. Good barleywine

Cellar Raid 2021. Hoo boy. This is tough. It’s bitter and resin-y throughout. Hints of chocolate and barrel. Strong boozy finish and the pine I just can’t get over. This is not the best of offerings.

A smooth 11%. Happy Cellar Raid! They’re playing Iron Maiden in the taproom

This beer is more of an experience than a drink.

Oh yesssss. This is what I came for. Big rich toffee sweet and maybe even a little green. Got some bottles and looking to put some age on this. Sond roasted malt notes and maybe even coffee? Maybe some bright hops under there that will fade with age. #BiL

Left. Big and bitter. Heavy pine resin, tar, hints of citrus. Very good.

Sweet like cotton candy with an orange twist. Then the hops kick in with a very dry finish. Interesting beer.
