Not really my jam. Good for the style but the style is gross.

That’s a lot of dried fruit flavor. Getting a lot of maple too. Not bad. Just a bit too sweet for me. 15% ABV makes up for that, not that you taste it

Grape/plum, clove... very sake-like. Not much of a fan of barleywine style any more 😢

It's still got some booze but it's mellowed out alot, I'd like more of the fig though

Was saving the bottle for a special occasion, all cellared away. After all, who wouldn’t want to inadvertently tear into a 15% barley wine on a school night? I don’t think barley wines, as a style, are my jam, figs and dates aside. Cheers, though!

Love the dates and fig notes. Heavy body. Malty. Low attenuation. Not hot for the alcohol level. No carbonation. Needed that to make the beer pop more on the nose and pallet.

EBF beer #9. Bottled on 1/18/17. Not the most exciting barleywine I’ve had...

Very strong, hints of sweet. Not what I was looking for but I can finish it. I kind of sense some fermented fruit with the sweetness.

The autolysis notes ruin it for me. I can’t get past it. Had to dump the dregs.

I guess barley wine is medicinal, blech. Tastes like echinacea, not in a good way.

I had a visceral reaction to this beer. Harsh and boozy with a cheap cigar rubbed in dirt aftertaste. Actually made me shiver.
