rxeight (1975) - Illinois, USA - NOV 14, 2014
Pour from 750 at FOBAB. Caramel brown. Lots of whiskey spirit. Touch of barleywine comes through but largely covered by the barrel. Flavors arent that strong. Not bad, but also not interesting.

vyvvy (4777) - Florissant, Missouri, USA - NOV 2, 2014
Pours murky brown with a tan head. The aroma has caramel, toffee, bourbon, vanilla, dates and figs. It has a smooth lush body with mild carbonation. The flavor starts with toffee, vanilla, woodiness, light earthy / floral hops and some herb notes. The finish has woody graininess and alcohol heat added. Pretty nice barleywine.
