chinhaez (155) - Ouray, Colorado, USA - SEP 16, 2021UPDATED: SEP 16, 2021 bottle. medium brown pour with a beige head that has good retention. The aroma features brown sugar, toffee, and wet soil. The taste moderately bitter with c hops ( I guess), also in the flavor I get dark fruits, raisins and dates, and earthy-bitter hops. The palate is a bit lighter than I prefer, but still quite accommodating. Overall: Decent, paired well with some extra toasty cheez-it.
HopsLove6 (390) - Berkshire, ENGLAND - SEP 3, 2021UPDATED: SEP 3, 2021 This is a nice barley wine beer but there are better examples. It's really bitter and tingy on the tongue. As with a great deal of US beers it's about overload on the ingredients and see what we get. Glad I found a bottle.
bdleedahl (4795) - , Saxony, GERMANY - JUL 9, 2021UPDATED: JUL 9, 2021 Feels a little aged and oxidized. Otherwise it’s like a light barleywine that you’d find nowadays, but defines the style in terms of the fig flavour. Beer temple ams

Jerseyislandbeer (3514) - JERSEY - OCT 11, 2020UPDATED: OCT 11, 2020 Old notes from 09-07-14. 330ml bottle, ABV 9.4. Pours a light brown with a off white foamy head. Aromas & tastes of grapes, figs, dates, candy, caramel, touch of cinnamon & very present strong alcohol. Might be very well made, but lost on me as I think this is one of my least favourite styles of beer.
jybi (1866) - Nouméa, NEW CALEDONIA - OCT 8, 2020UPDATED: OCT 8, 2020 Coup de chapeau à la brasserie Anchor qui réalise ici un très beau Barley Wine avec un alcool somme tout modéré du haut de ses 8,8 % qui est à la fois riche aromatiquement mais également très bien équilibré permettant finesse et caractère. Le visuel est sur une robe couleur bronze sans mousse. Le nez est sur une bonne complexité avec raisin, figue, datte, candy, caramel et une touche de cannelle. Belle intensité sur l'attaque avec un alcool posant bien les arômes et un Barley Wine jouissant d'un excellent équilibre malt/houblon. Les arômes reprennent ceux d'un nez sur de belles variations. La deuxième bouche gagnant en intensité impressionne avec un alcool en retro donnant ce petit plus de caractère, alors que l'arrière bouche plus amère donne un bon contraste. Le final est quant à lui plus sobre mais sur une bonne longueur. Je ne m'attendais pas à une telle prestation, que je salue.
