Ginger, Spice, Barreled And Nice Johnson
I generally love barleywines, but the ginger overpowers any and everything this else that’s going on. There’s so much ginger, I’m surprised this beer doesn’t have freckles and burn on an overcast day.

French Toast Bastard (Barrel Aged Series 2022) Johnson
Waffle Crisp breakfast cereal in boozy liquid form. My only knock against this one is that I get the oakiness of the barrel on the finish, but not much of the bourbon from the aging.

Cream soda-esque backbone with the coffee and vanilla playing off that.

The maple, vanilla, and bourbon are all very subtle; very sweet. The finish is sort of woodsy. Doesn’t do any one thing well, but the sum of its parts is solid.

Not as creamy as other oatmeal stouts, but the coffee and chocolate are hitting the spot this time around.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2018) Johnson
Lots of coffee and barrel on the nose, maybe some vanilla. Coffee, cocoa, and burnt sugar (maybe from the barrel?) on the tongue. Little bite of barrel and syrup sweetness on the finish. This may be better fresh?

Curmudgeon's Better Half Johnson
What’s the difference between an old ale and a barleywine? This reminds me of Bigfoot and Straight Jacket, but sweeter and syrupier.
