This is a 2018 bottle. Boozy and rich, hint of Carmel and malt sweetness. Pretty delicious really...

The gold standard for Barleywine brews! Total dried fruit (raisins 🙄) in a boozy brew!

2014 vintage, so this beer is 10 years old. I wish they still made this beer.

Boozy little nightcap thanks to the cousins, not much raisin flavor but as the bottle indicates; it has aged well!

Had it since 2019. Went down pretty smooth. Lot of raisin notes. Great malty body.

This a few years older and is still very good. Belgian strong with a deep maltiness. Dark cherry colour, deep raisin notes that have mellowed with that time.

Had this cellared for a year. So much brighter and bigger and maltier.

Probably the best malty flavored beer in the history of the world. Also, I got drunk just looking at it.

Very boozy but 16.5%ABV so expected but also sweet molasses and raisin notes give it a sweeter flavor.

Bought 2,aged 1 a year, this one almost 2 years. Pulled it out for my mom's 75th bday and shared with her & brother. Mellowed a bit with age but still lots of flavor from brown sugar and raisins. Doesn't seem like 16%.
