Holy cripes. Intensity. Intensely sweet and malty. Intensely hoppy and bitter. Huge beer. Huge flavor. Huge thank you to Founders for brewing this beast.

Barleywine style ale. Malty and hoppy with smooth bitterness.

Not quite I was expecting but then I’m not sure I planned my beers out today. Note to self more of a winter and heavy beer. But it is founders nuf said

The deep roasty notes do little to prepare you for the big bold flavors that try to hide the %11.2 abv. Plenty of malty goodness including caramel, light vanilla, coffee and cocoa that plays well with the 75 IBU's which brings on a bitterness for balance

Nice and strong, sweet barleywine. Definitely kicks you in the pants!

Slightly grassy finish because of the high ibu. Drinks pretty easy for 11.2% Nice one to celebrate the birthday boy.

Great way to wind down at the taproom after seeing my tigers win! It's kinda like a heavy scotch ale or something? IDK... I forgot to check in at the time so this review is like a week late.... Leave me alone! 🤣🤷

My first ever barleywine! I'm not sure what to make of it, it is quite unique! Sweet and boozy like a stout, but hoppy and bitter like an IPA. Pretty good stuff, although not my most favorite lol

Boozy, complex mix of flavors. Lots going on. Both roasty and bitter, with subtle malty sweetness. Kinda what you'd expect out of something unique like a barleywine.

Not sweet for a barley wine. Decent flavor, but not my personal favorite.

A stout and an IPA mashed together. Not unpleasant, but a weird mishmash of flavors. A different brewery would really dick this up but Founders made it potable.

Fragrant hops on the nose. Dark and roasted malts per style. Big body and high IBUs but balanced well. Slight bitterness on after taste. Nice. To a malthead, probably better aged a year.
