hayduke (6095) - Eureka, California, USA - FEB 12, 2018Shared with Strykzone on Facebook Chat Poured near red with a beige head. Nose of caramel, toffee, fig, pine, and other fruit. Medium plus body. Some alcohol tasted. But some bad. Flavor is like the aroma with more fruit including pineapple and plum. Quite a combination. Final pour turns very murcky. Finishes sweet. Overall quite complex and very tasty. Nice in all respects.
Strykzone (8457) - Wood River, Illinois, USA - FEB 12, 2018Bomber from hayduke via facebook chat. Murky mid brown with a fluffy beige head. A rich and complex fruit aroma. Stone, citrus. The flavor brings that and is plenty sweet. A rich malt effect, too makes for plenty to ferment. Bourbon is light at best but there is some wood notes. Toffee and fruit pretty much sum this one up. Throw in some alcohol. Pineapple and more tropical fruit emerge. But late this beer gets more malty and bready, spicy, too. This is different from other BWs. No harsheness at all and so much more fruit and it even seems to be pulpy. Finish is a bit buttery. Smooth and rich.
AgentAle (2819) - Fort Mcmurray, Alberta, CANADA - OCT 5, 2017Aroma is toffee, English toffee and sweet oak barrels.The thick malt profile is multilayered and complex. A very good palette given the ABV.
60minuteman (1764) - West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 4, 2017Bottle from Canals. Clear ruby red color. Warm boozy feeling in the nose, dark fruits, figs, clove, cardamom and coffee. Earthy taste, more dark fruits, medium bite and wood with a semi-sweet finish. Coffee grounds.
jflopsu (1862) - Somerset, New Jersey, USA - NOV 20, 2016Pours a ruby red with heavy light tan head. A sweet make, caramel and alcohol aroma. A sweet malt, caramel, and dark alcohol taste. A dry and sweet malt aftertaste.
tombutlin (396) - Auckland, NEW ZEALAND - NOV 9, 2016I’m not a fan of sweet beer, but this was a good one. Quite spicy and actually improved as it warmed
onceblind (17156) - Denver, Colorado, USA - OCT 14, 2016Slightly hazy deep roast Amber, with a delightful looking cap of a foamy light tan head. Rich bready boozy English Barleywine notes with a dash of wood and cherry and dates. Smooth and semisweet fruity flavor that’s got almost like some red grape and dark red berry flavors with a malty boozy depth and that woody tone is back from the nose. Semi fruity and fleshy with an almost boring malt base.

Fatehunter (3481) - Corbett, Oregon, USA - SEP 16, 2015Pours a half finger of head on a hazy light brown body.
The aroma has a little caramel, lots of hay, barnyard and plowed dirt.
The taste is grainy, a little caramel sweetness, more dirt and grains.
The texture is fairly light with nice fizz.
The aroma is great, the flavor fine.
Oscbert (1678) - Lincoln, California, USA - AUG 12, 2015Strong woody spicy sweet caramel cocoa aroma. Reminds me of their prohibition ale.
Pours an amberish brown with small creamy yellowish head
Strong malty sweet flavor of caramel and cocoa well balanced with woody spicy hop. Surprisingly easy to drink.
Medium full bodied, medium CO2, slight alcohol warmth, tongue numbing, lasting bitter finish that beckons for another sip.
Very well balanced American Barleywine. I enjoy the hops that Speakeasy likes to use. I have no problem sipping this all night
