Reminiscent of Bowser's Spring cleaning beer where they combined all their extra hops and malt.

Solid American BW. Approachable for people who haven't had the style. Reminds me of the good ole days drinking OG nemesis at Oasis with Andrew

hop bitterness with subtle floral notes, vague dark fruit candy sweetness, moderate malt presence.

Acidic, Roasty, Bitter. But absolutely delicious and smooth. Never thought I’d say all of those together. But yeah, this is delicious. Check the video for our full review!

Wow. Didn’t realize the alcohol % was over 11%. Very smooth. Probably fall asleep afterwards

I forgot this was a barrel-wine. Caught me way off guard😂. After discovering it was not a stout, I was able to enjoy the flavor and appreciate the hop after taste and malt, roast finish.

A: slightly like wine with slight IPA mix T: like a thick, dark, intense stout at first, but instead of chocolate or coffee, it end on a slightly fruity ipa haze flavor. Seriously tastes like a thick stout. Definitely some malt liquor tastes aswell.

Rough mismatch of flavors. Sweet, malty nose fully offset by monster hops throughout. Really dry/warming finish. Seems less like a BW and more of a cuvée of random strong shit. Low expectations and still disappointed.

Pleasantly bitter. Not your traditional barleywine. The roasted barley is very prominent. Hints of charred molasses, black licorice, and a toasted hop presence that carries through. Resembles a strong black IPA.

Not bad, expected more traditional barleywine. More woodsy, bitter flavor similar to a black IPA.

There's a lot going on and it all just seems to clash in a not so pleasant way.

Malty. Even slightly hoppy. Not bad and would certainly drink again but won’t go out of my way to buy again.

An excellent very dry very hoppy barleywine. Not boozy at all. Don't know what everyone else is thinking.

Reminds me of Bigfoot with the hops-forward profile. Aftertaste not great. Prolly a 3.85 for me.

Very interesting barleywine. Doesn’t have that typical barleywine taste, has more roasted grain and hop notes.

It’s like a stout that’s trying to be a barleywine. A little thin. Pretty good, but This doesn’t taste like a barleywine.

Barleywine labeled but not like any BW I’ve ever had. Nice aroma but slight roast slight alcohol taste.

This barley wine is a little bit darker than most of the ones I’ve tried but overall it is an excellent complexity. It is fairly dry compared to many barley wines that I’ve had in the past.
