Amazing.... back of the fridge find.

Round 2 - Catch up - Nothing quite like it at all. Ginger, toffee, pine, oak, cherrywood, and sugared and spiced barley notes with a slight smoked hop kick throughout. Plums and raisins with a bourbon kick. Well done

Jimmy DeArmitt

Michael Natrin

Still boozy and delicious

Fire side chat time with Sam and Jim! Breaking open some old Dogfish

Sam Martel

I followed their instructions! Unfortunately forgot where I put the map of where I dug the hole. Took 6 years to finally find!

Boom

Raymond S. You were right. A little more time in the cellar turned the figs and dates Into smooth players.

I have saved this barley wine for special occasions. The special occasion yes I was in the mood for a good barley wine. It delivered.

Jim M

Bob S.

Bottled 12-17-16 / opened 12/29/21. Rich notes of dates and figs in the finish. Smooth.

Harry K

I don't get some of the bad reviews. It's really good. It aged nicely, but still has a good kick. Sip slowly & enjoy. Thanks again Andy K.

Hunter Layne

Also amazing Another cheers to DE

This is a barley wine that would put hair on your chest. After four years in the cellar it is one smooth hombre. Kooringal Loosely means by the shore, and the name of the company that made my Wool cap in Australia. Both are smooth high-quality performers.

Wow. Glad I sat on this for so long. Barrel but not as firey boozy as it once was. Smells like straight up apple cider. So smooth now. Hint of sweetness but you have to look for it. This is a mama drink right here boys.

Doug V.

Nice chewy barleywine. Figs and dates still present, but not in your face. Very enjoyable. Thanks Greg D. !

Very good, but sherry BA is da shit. Best brew I've had in some time.

Far right

Lawrence Major

Held up incredible. Not divulging my source but they have more and I may go back. Gonna give some time for this one to warm up but it’s super as-is.

Shower beer 1/16/21, born 12/17/16... potent boozy dark fruit, all fig and date... a longtime favorite, are they even making this any more?

Chad B.

Either I appreciate the style more 4-5 years later or it aged beautifully. Enjoying a high abv nightcap 🍻

Might be my favorite barley of all time. Cellars so well, but lost out tonight, for me, to Bigfoot 2008

Last of these 2016s. I have a few 2017's Still.

Jesse Bartz

I'm definitely getting more of the dark fruit notes but there is still a definite heat that won't go away.

Dan Bee

Been Rite

Well aged with lots of hoppy aroma up front. Tasty with some deep richness and malt, hops still apparent, a touch of bitterness.

Lost some sweetness. Got some more bite.

Kevin Gehr

Jeff Dobson

D P

Still boozy in a good way. Has lost some sweetness I imagine because not as sweet as other barleywines I've had.

Wow. So complex

Jesse Bartz

I've been holding onto this since 2017 and figured it was finally time to open it up. It was way too hot back when I first had it and there is still a bit of heat but it has definitely mellowed. Could honestly have sat longer lol.

B M.

F W

Whoa! Hops have faded a bit but it's boozy as fuck still.

Greg DuBois

Michael Britten

Post-ride/run/ride beer (left phone at home when I rushed to the beach, which changed my plans to hang there for the day — didn’t even swim). How often will I be in the mood for a 15% barleywine that plays-up the dried fruit? Who knows, but I have 3 more.

Ian M

Fantastic. big on molasses now, getting some cocoa/coffee as well that I don't recall fresh. Light bitterness/spicy alcohol. Mild increasing booze. This might be peaking now. Better than i reviewed in 2014. Very clean sipper. Medium body. Not too sweet
