beerdman - May 28, 2013Delicious. Very smooth for its strength. I have had one fresh and one that was 3 years old. 3 year old was faaaar sweeter, and sweet like as in dates and figs are sweet. My girlfriend didn't like how sweet it was, I was all over it. Fresh was still delicious, but more boozy and bitter. Either way, one of the best barley wines out there. Drink it with people you love.
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!!
