johnrielly@yahoo.com - February 28, 2013If you like beer it's not for you!! If you like wine give it a try.. I couldn't get through a glass of it.


pem16 - February 20, 2013Strong alcohol followed by a blast of bitterness. Toffee and vanilla appear as the beer warms up. A different animal if aged! Awesome American barleywine.


DaxAttack - February 20, 2013Aged a year plus. Smell is of a nice ale, simple. Great taste on the tip of the tongue, nice lasting yeast flavors then a boom of malt. Not too sweet, warm though. ABV is so hidden, dangerously smooth. Belgian dark ale vibe. Nice burn on the afterglow. Though, one would probably be enough (taste wise)


nayydaann - January 21, 2013Holy god. Probably my favorite barleywine and seriously WAY too damn smooth for 15% abv! Really great lesser known dogfish beer that I think deserves more attention


DanMan27 - January 19, 2013Nice aroma, sweet like raisins. Tastes similar, with additional spices. Great barley wine, and one of my favorite dogfish head beers so far


savvysaint - December 23, 2012A freakin amazing hands down the best dogfish head you did it again! Awesome barley wine guys thank you !


kmarsh - December 18, 2012HOLY F**K that's good! Best barley wine ever. Did I say holy fuck? Because holy fuck!!!! That's a spicy tuna!!


sjp6361@gmail.com - December 4, 2012Fig/raisin/dark fruit aroma...thinner mouthfeel than most of the style, sweetness is balanced in just the right amount to coexist with the alcohol forward taste. Easiest drinking barleywine I've had despite 15% abv, my personal favorite of the style so far. Would age perfectly as well.




Jrodiaz - May 18, 2012Aged since 2007 and is 2012. Def the best beer of the night, can't beleive is 15% but yet so smooth, drop the cash on it, is worth it!
