Beautiful orangish bronze lightly colored haze. Cloves on the nose and nutmeg on the palate. Too much ginger, etc. Spice. Bitter. Strong!

Liking this beer less.... But, high % and a great way to become numb to life. I'm done

Too much Ginger in spice.

I generally love barleywines, but the ginger overpowers any and everything this else that’s going on. There’s so much ginger, I’m surprised this beer doesn’t have freckles and burn on an overcast day.

Wegmans had it on sale, $5 for a four pack. Too much spice, dominated everything. Not a lot of barrel character, and sweet. I’ll just hang on to the others and see what happens in some years. Maybe it’ll get better. Barleywines can be so good, not this.

I'm always on the hunt for "that" barleywine. It's probably my favorite style. This isn't it, unfortunately. I'm a Founders fan boy from way back, for context. Some styles don't benefit from "creative embellishments".

Great

Too many spices

Bruce Veit

Pours Dark Amber. A strange Barrel Aged Barleywine with notes of Vanilla, Ginger Cinnamon, & Clove. Not the taste that I would go for again, to be honest. Not Nice.

Not gingerbread, straight up ginger

Meh

Huge notes of ginger, clove and allspice on the nose. Not enough barrel or Barleywine. Really let this warm up as it all blends a little more as it does. Definitely has some sticky butterscotch on the tongue, but the ginger overwhelms. Gonna age some

Bradley Lüssenheide

Balanced spices with a ginger that is a touch overpowering.

I had higher hopes for this. Saw BA barleywine and bought it. Reminds me of some of the over spiced ‘yam beers’ little medicinal. I’ll keep sipping and hope for a Christmas miracle 🍻🤑

Chuck Richmond

Over the top ginger followed by cinnamon spices. Kinda too much.

Ben Patrick

Jason Mouritsen

The quality is there, but the spices are a bit rough.

Josh M

I just can’t with this one. I was expecting gingerbread, and instead get straight ginger. It’s not for my palate, but I’m sure there’s an audience for it

Not a fan of ginger and it features quite heavily in this.

Jared Chavez

I don’t love it, but at 12.8% abv, it will get the job done.

A sipper for sure. Very clove-y.

You better love ginger and spice to partake in this. I love gingerbread and barleywine but this is not my jam. This is more like ginger spice and absolutely nothing nice about this beer.

Chuck Burghardt

All of the ginger went into this one. Too much for me on this holiday leftover

Justin Robers

Got this beer for Christmas. It has a strong cinnamon and ginger taste. It's sweet and strong. Not a terrible winter beer. Would only want one at a time but would try it again.

Brandon Cochran

I don’t like this one. It’s good for what it is, I guess, but what it ain’t is for me.

Aaron Schedlin

Too much ginger. Drinking the bottle in hopes it cures my sickness lol

Adam Wilson

Boozey, and alot going on, can't say it really works together though.

Jason Shepherd

Not really sure on this one... maybe it's the clove?

Way too much ginger and spice.
