Stellar. Really held up after all these years. Clearly a barley wine with excellent barrel notes and perfect amount of sweetness from the maple syrup. Would love to have this more often.

Bitterness is almost nonexistent. You can tell it was hopped though with a grassy vegetal note.

Just open this 15th anniversary barley wine from 2012. It’s still really good!

Very smooth. Not as big with oxidation as I thought it might. It’s aged very well but is seemingly after it’s peak.

10 year old barley wine. Age has not been kind to it. Lost much of the complexity to be expected. Even the alcohol seems muted @ 15%.

Drinking great. Ten years old, great carb, hoppy sweet smooth. Awesome pour

Amazing nose on this. Hoppy English-style BW vibes. Still killer for not being barrel-aged. The palate opens with hop-laced bitter caramel sauce, floral honey, biscuity malt notes, caramel and wet leather. Love trying oldies like this that hold up to tine

Cellar clearing. Mellowed out a bit but still really boozy. Not re-rating

Kept ten years before being opened at a wedding. Amazing.

No seriously. It’s from 2012 - It was a gift between the best man and the groom for their undergrad and they aged it until one of them got married. Well, today was the day! For a 9 year old beer, it ain’t bad!

It looks like I have only 3 fingers. Still grassy and a bit of sweet caramel.
