"I havent had a barleywine in a while so i picked this one up, and wow, very nice brew. Aromas of fruity, floral, and citrus hops a plenty. Mouthfeel was thick and chewy, but easy to drink. Flavors of sweet caramel malts, lots of citrus hops, pine, some alcohol as it warmed. A very nice offering from Lagunitas, and i will have it again."

"So...not sure why I haven't rated this before. I've had it in bottle a couple times and even more recently on tap at Dexter's. It's 11% brew- what an ass kicker!! But a fantastic beer all the way through. Cloudy mahogany colour with a nice off white head. Aroma is beautiful and bright. Cherries, bourbon and oak on the nose. Taste has an interesting smokiness i find. Sweet, fruity and caramel underlying the taste. A super fantastic taste an wicked hearty, beautifully balanced brew."

[3] Review by bfeldmann from Wilmington, DE, USA who has tried this beer once. (5/12/2009 9:55:07 PM)
"Not a bad one. Poured brownish red color with good size head and okay lacing. Aroma was pine hops some fruits in there and a caramel. Flavor was a little to much sugar and hot but other then that followed the aroma. Needed more hops I think to cut down the sweetness.

[4] Review by kinger from USA who has tried this beer once. (1/25/2009 12:06:11 PM)
"No doubt about it, this is one mighty fine barleywine. Spot on for the style and rather similar to a year old SN Bigfoot. Clear amber/copper color, thin off white head and plenty of good lacing. Underlying grainy aroma with a robust sweetness of rich, hearty malts. Sugary plums, thick toffee, and floral/perfume like hop scents. A thick, smooth sipping beer. Sweet and mildly bittering with a great finish and prolonged aftertaste. Flavorful with a mixture of burnt toast, raisins, toffee, bitter flowers and dark cherries. A touch of pine along with a woody, fibrous taste. An overall mellow blend of aromas and flavors that tickle the senses. I liked this one a lot, it really is what I look forward to in a well crafted barleywine."

"a good beer, but not a great barleywine. it's one of those styles that you really have to mess up to be bad, so this one isn't bad, just uninspired. I've tried it twice, and will stick to others in the future."
