Hoppy, sweet and almost Quad tasting. Has a dry, bitter finish with some booziness and raisins.

I think I have a few of these on my table of orphaned beers.

As always a classic very hoppy beer. Bottled 4-7-17. Great color and taste. Love on tap fresh at the brewery, but this 7 years old beer doesn’t disappoint.

Way more flavor left on the front end than the 2016 had.

Really interested now that it’s been aged nearly 7 years: it seems to have the body of barleywine now, which isn’t surprising given its ABV. Still some hop character, but now at this point the beauty of this one is the mouthfeel and rich character.

It’s magic! And three years later, it’s a flat-out barleywine. Burnt sugar, dry, warming, alcoholic.

Found this in the cooler at work, aged incredibly well, essentially transformed into a delicious barleywine.

Tastes fancy. Mature hops with a slight fruit - prune flavor.

Very complex. Had one fresh and aged this one 3 years. Throwback night. Looks like bottled on 3(8)/30/17 A HELL of a lot darker than I remember. Sweet/malty/carmely, thick, still boozy, with a light frui

Cellared for 3 1/2 years. Where did the abv go? Sweet caramel and toffee sauce!

Darker and boozier than I thought it would be after aging 3 years. Reminded of Goose Island BB in a way.

Aged 3 years in keg, the intensity of bitterness has faded, the hips express as earthy and floral with lingering light spice. Overall complex and interesting

Monday, not as flavorful as I remembered, probably influenced by a full stomach from dinner.

When your wife( who hates IPAs) says “this is delicious “, you know you’ve entered barley wine territory. I happen to agree.

Thick body with slight carbonation; Notes of burnt caramel and fig upfront with a piney hop bite on the finish. Slight alcohol heat. Would still be good in a few years.

I haven't had a drink, yet. At 18% ABV, this is the size of the pour. After aging three years, this isn't nearly the alcohol punch in the face as it is when first bottled. It has a sweetness to it, similar to a mead or barleywine.
