Solid. Strong barley wine with a lot of roasted malt. More hoppy than a typical barley. Bottles up!! #17, round 9. Betch.

Taste more like a stout not a barley wine. I taste a lot of coffee

At room temperature, the head taste like marshmallow, actually has a hoppy aroma, and flavor. Sweet finish, overall very good, but not "barleywine" flavor profile.

Pours dark brown/red. Aroma reminded me of raisin and berries, which I enjoyed. Did need to warm this up a little to start getting any malt flavors. Slightly bitter. Overall lacks the intensity and complexity I think of with the style.

Smoother than most in the style- bitter hops and chocolate malts lean this towards the bitter but very sweet end. An interesting but ultimately unspectacular beer.

Definitely needs that maple syrup barrel. Bitter malts scratched a rare itch.

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.

Not what I would expect from a barleywine. More on the roast chocolate side for malts and more bitter hops than I like in this style.

heavy on the barley. some resin bitterness, with boozy heat on the finish. it's potent, and a little too much for my liking.

Needed a bit more sweetness. The bitterness was welcome but didn't taste right. Too piney for me at least, but it is called nemesis after all.

I’d pay $9.99 for a six pack of this. It’s alright but no where near as good as the original. The current price is asinine.

For a founders beer, this was incredibly boring and bland IMO

I was surprised that this said barleywine with roasted malts but then it tastes kind of hoppy. I’m not a fan of IPA’s. This is leaning that way.

Dumped a '17 Backwoods and an '18 Better Half, which weren't tasting good, before landing on this which is also not exciting me. Lackluster BW imo.

Barely Wine Style. Too sweet for me, but the high IBUs makes it easier to drink. Hubby likes it.

Nice and malty up front but with an uncharacteristically hoppy finish for a barley Wine.
