I dont get to try many barley wine style beers, so I took a chance. My recollection is the color was wrong, flavor was off.
However, I really liked this, call it an Imperial IPA....works better that way.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Westmeister (2111) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - SEP 24, 2015
For me is on that line of barleywine/double ipa. Quite citrus hoppy, certainly more of the American style. There is a malty creaminess that is the only divergence from an IIPA. good.
