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

Quite spiced. Cinnamon, ginger and clove are strong. Sweet. Boozy. Rich. Very drinkable very such high ABV...Taste a lot like the pumpkin beer they released a 2 or 3 months ago.

Love Founders and bourbon barrel-aged barleywine...but just a little too forward with the ginger.

Rich ginger ale flavor. Nice warmth from the barleywine. Don’t try if you don’t like ginger.

Yuck. I was excited at the thought, but no. I see why as a new release they already had it on sale at Wegmans.

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

That's a hit of ginger. It's a lovely cookie profile and super different.

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

Pretty underwhelming.. not much barrel presence at all. Also quite thin for such a big beer. Very drinkable for such a high ABV, though. Nice flavor profile, just was really hoping for a lot more barrel notes. Just comes off as an imperial spiced beer.

Definitely ginger, not a lot of barrel flavor. Very drinkable for a high abv beer.

Starts a little smoky but smoothes out with a gingery finish

Reminds me somewhat of a dutch apple pie. Although I'm getting a lot of cinnamon and, especially, ginger. If nothing else, it definitely tastes like the holidays. Sweet and packs quite a bit of heat.

Good cold. Might be better served warm like xmas cider. 12.8% leaves ya feeling ready for Xmas.

Super heavy ginger, a little bitter, a little sweet.

Balanced spices with a ginger that is a touch overpowering.

Not overpowering like most high gravity beers, feels like a regular Christmas beer but the abv hits you later.
