Well it’s definitely mellowed out after 8 years lol

When this Barleywine is fresh (or consumed within a few years of its bottling date) it has a potent boozy kick to it. The extra years of aging have smoothed out all the booze & now all I taste is the fig & date flavors, which makes this way too drinkable.

Bottled on 10/27/14, almost 6 years ago. I let this one sit too long. I think its peak might've been 2 to 2 1/2 years ago. Lots of fig up front and throughout, not much date, a little boozy and oxidation.

Intended to be aged for one year, we cracked this one seven years too late. Powerful, with burnt dark fruit and perhaps even a hint of coffee.

Tastes exactly like the 2016. Glad I didn’t try this fresh...

Finally opened it! Would pair with something super sweet.

Boozy nose like cleaning fluid. Taste of figs, raisins, and dark fruits that taste like absolute CRAP! Maybe 6 years was far too long to age this swill. Terrible replacement beer in the Extreme Beer Fest 2021 box. My condolences to anyone else......

Deep cut from the cellar. Not sure it held up as well as I’d hoped. Lost most of the fruit notes. No rating because this bottle has been in my care for years. Can’t blame the brewery. Still drank it all!

Pretty solid for 8 years old. Definitely oxidized a bit but that 15% is hidden far too well.

8 years old. Was sitting in my beer fridge. Didn’t hold up too well. Off putting bitterness, but still smells boozy
