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

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".

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.

Very spicy. If they toned it down, this would be much better.

If I was a whiskey drinker, this may be more appealing. Still great tasting, however!

Lots of flavors hit you on first sip... Ginger, clove, bourbon. Very sweet and boozy. I like all the flavors, but I'm glad we're splitting this one. Definitely a one and done kind of beer. 3rd day of Beermas 🍻🎄🎅🦌

Barrel-aged barleywine ale w/ ginger, cinnamon and clove. Notes of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, oak and vanilla. A bourbon barrel aged holiday flavor explosion. Strong! 12.8% ABV

Sweet ale aroma. Carbonated overly sweet malty caramel ale.
