This was one my wife bought a while ago for me on a whim. She knew I liked barleywines so picked it up while grabbing some other stuff.
Unlike the Stone barleywine from the other day, this one wasn't quite as good unfortunately. Lightly citrusy caramel nose. Nice body but kind of eh flavor followed. Started with some burning alcohol and bitter hops and finished similarly. In the middle there were hints of caramel and some other flavors that if more pronounced would have gone a long way to help this one. It grew on me a bit as I drank more, but still never quite made it. Just too much burning alcohol and not enough of anything else. Oh well, they can't all be winners.
