18 years old! Mellow and good.

Steve H

Seagis

Heavy and solid. Earthy notes of dates, oak, and bitter chocolate. One per month is plenty. 😁

Darryl Sadati

Super sweet and rich toffee notes but still smooth. 2012 bottle date.

Jon Crepeau

Watching Ted lasso finale! 🥹 This is a year or two old, had a nice rounded sweetness

James Slaven

Matt Fafrak

This is from 2017! So I got about a 6 year age on it.., Interesting how it has changed

(4.1) I’ve had this before I was on Untappd. Smooth and Sweet. Giving the edge to the Raisin D’Extra. Both great sippers

Sean Ford

This sure didn’t look like a barley wine. Clear Golden pour with a smallish head. But the aromas and the flavors were right on. Molassas and caramel, Dark fruit and a nice hop finish. Pretty tasty stuff.

jim weber

Excellent

Tom Gebbie

Hard to think of this as a beer anymore. Pretty tasty and obviously boozy. Definitely a once in a while treat!

Well, at 15%, I am done for the day.

Some old school Olde School. That is, this has been in my fridge for 9+ years (2014). “This beer ages with the best of ‘em” on the label. That it does. Seems the 15% has mellowed out as this is drinking real smooth. Sweet and figgy. Still nice carb.

2017 I think — smudged date

Vey good… not really my thing

This crowler was tapped from a 2017 batch. It is malty and the viscous sweetness has mellowed with depths of raisins and dark stone fruits. This version may not have stayed as stable as it should have, but it is still nice.

From the cellar. Could no longer read the date on the bottle. Pretty damn smooth for 15%.

Found this sitting in my wine rack covered in dust. Probably 4-5 yrs old. Label says it ages well, and it wasn’t wrong. Very complex flavors; almost like port wine

Jake Orofino

Super surprised at a 15% aged 7 plus years.. so smooth and delicious. Love DF overall, fantastic, thanks Matt F. Recommend to find this and hide away!

Ron Owens

Cellared 2007 vintage. Dried fruit, very sweet, strong alcohol warmth that lasts. Slight earthy bitterness that lingers. Some toffee.

Sweet figs on the nose. Taste is slight sweet, filled with fig and dates, and malty. Strong but very smooth. Excellent barleywine.

The annual tasting from the birthday 4-pack: Not too boozy, but there's still a little harshness. I think a little bit more caramel coming through compared to the last tasting.

Deep and smooth. Barley popping in the nose. Sweet, thick fig and dates in the main very rich taste. You can feel the barrel aged oak in this slow sippa...nice way to end a crisp fall weekend.. thanks Geggy!!
