I seem to be the 6th Untappd person to post this beer, & it’s a brilliant beer, w/ a ginger - cinnamon - clove nutmeg blend that wins the holiday. Bourbon brings oak & vanilla, yet the spices & barrel qualities together cover the booze well. Superb.

Bourbon boozy, with oak & vanilla, but just as focused on ginger & clove.

That was surprisingly good. I didn't expect the mature flavor and sweetness. Spicy but not hot.

Wow. I didn't notice before, but there is a slight mead-like character to this delightful brew. Fun! Too bad it was my last one.

On this 3rd of a four-pack, cinnamon seems to be emerging, but ginger & clove still are stronger & more enduring. Base continues to express vanilla, oak, & toffee. Excellence in booze.

Wow...not too sweet, not too boozy. Everything is balanced. Notes of ginger, spice, cinnamon, clove, vanilla, and some nutmeg. All balanced by the malt of the barley wine and the boozyness. Well done! Can't wait to try some in the winter. Sláinte!

This could easily be a favorite holiday beer. The 12.8% ABV is deceptive under the nicely balanced Barleywine Ale with Ginger, Cinnamon and Clove.

A surprise when I saw this, wasn’t aware. You either like or don’t per posts. Me likey! Out cold: a bit scrambled yet good. As it warms becomes organized. Gingerbread cookies BBA Barleywine. So many notes dancing together - spices in beers don’t scare me!

Born 09.19.23. Aging nicely. Straight out gingerbread cookies heavy w/ cinnamon. A BA Barleywine w/ ginger, cinnamon & clove. The bourbon is malty/vanilla smooth. The clove adds a bite on each sip. This is done well & unusal for such a large production.

The ginger and cinnamon are in the aroma. The flavor includes that plus and under lying malty brown bread. The boozy level is high enough to provide a perceived alcohol sweetness.

Not the typical barleywine, but a different twist! Gingerbread flavors all present in this BA in bourbon barrels. With the abv at 12.2%, there is no need to snuggle. This will warm you up! Another great beer from Founder's!

I know so many don’t like Ginger - lucky I’m not so I can enjoy this. The soft BBA Barleywine vanilla smooth oaky caramel spiked w/ ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg & especially the clove. I’m a fan of Gingerbread, Ginger Snaps & Ginger on Gilligan’s Island 😁!

Founders continues its crusade to make every style a 12% or higher. A barleywine is the perfect style into which adding spices and ginger works. Smooth and spicy, with a balanced blend of flavors. The perfect lead-in to the holiday season.

Tastes like Christmassss! A very sneaky 12.8%, I would never guess it was that boozy from how smooth it is. Very balanced flavors, I love this

Didn’t taste much like barleywine or bourbon, but I don’t care because it’s a delightful, festive beverage. The ginger and cinnamon bring a little spicy heat. Ginger, cinnamon, cookie, vanilla, clove, oak, hints of whiskey, butterscotch and toffee.

A different kind of barleywine than I’m used to but I like it. The spices make it not as sweet as some barleywines.
