I might be in love 🥰. Maybe the smoothest and easy drinking 15% Barleywine I have ever had.

Goodness, those years did not mellow this very much. It almost tastes like a fresh 120min. So damn boozy, pecans and sweet malt, but damn this is such a big bitch.

Last beer to share with Grey and Lew before they go back to college so I figured we'd go Olde School. They definitely approved and with 6 years in bottle, it's not hard to see why. Not nearly as harsh as she was in her younger days.

Just a smidge past it’s prime, drink it if you have it! 4-5 years of age max on this guy I’d say

Getting a bit oxidized. Still ok though

2017, 2023 - it is not as boozy as i remember, or as strong. This was pretty tasty!

Toggle between this and my 2007 check-in for today. This Olde School is much different. More like a very recent one. Dark brown, more effervescent and a bit of fusel character. Thinner, but more typically expected of the style. See 2007 check-in today.

Srill pretty delicious, but no sweetness in the finish. A boozy one that is easy to drink, almost has a raisin taste to it. Now it makes me want a Rasion De'Extra!

Never not good; finding one of these babies in the basement is amazing. So good, tasty booziness and warming notes

What a gorram long week. Hard is the path to fusion I guess. Anyway time for a big beer! Big and kind of sharp without overly boozy. Smells of brown, lots of raisin as it warms. Tastes of toasted bread a bit on the finish.

Like this one better 5 years later…a little sweeter I think?

This has held up amazingly well. Figs and dates are still evident. Plenty of carb. Outstanding.

Deep amber almost brown, but smoothe and deeply sweet, yet with a more almost maple richness. A delight.

A: deep murky brown. What little head there is almost instantly becomes a thing ring. A: big fruity sweetness. T: the sweetness is still there but a big blast of herbal hops is stronger. A little boozy. F: lighter, smooth

This was the final beer from EBF 2021 and boy did it pack a wallop. Late check-in, I know. Still recovering from that night with this 15% monster. Color is mahogany. Flavor is chocolate, figs, nuts, toffee, and dates. Now, on to EBF 2022...

Probably held on to this one for juuust a bit too long, as well. It isn't terrible by any means, but it's on the other side of that hill.
