4.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Off of the firkin cask this beer was copper hued. Due to cask conditioning the pint was less than clear but the palate was divine. with a slight naturally carbonated head. Aroma is strong. The ale is well balanced for a strong ale (12%).
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Wonderfully hoppy barleywine. Orange pour with minimal head. Great hop aroma and sweet malt scents in the background. Taste is very hoppy, sweet, and balanced with medium sweet malts in the back. Love the hops in this one!

Copper body with a white head. Lots of lace.
Tons of hops in the nose and finish.
Alcohol (12% ABV) is completely hidden. Dangerous beer.
I need more barley wines...

4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Cask conditioned and hand pulled: Glowing ruby brown hue with a very creamy ivory head and great lace, one beautiful brew. Aroma is big and piney! Full attack upon the nose with additional hints of butterscotch, toasted malt, pineapple, wood, earthy yeast, and resin. The taste starts very piney as well. A good fruity and sweet malt tones provide balance. A touch smoky and woody as well. The finish is bitter and the pine does linger on and on. Lush and heavy, sticky full-bodied brew. Moderate alcohol level present but not overpowering. Wow, what a find, a knockout. Perhaps the cask mellowed this brew and provided depth, for I found it to be a big winner! Seek this out.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Growler: Orange in color with a white head. Aroma, citrus and earthy hops, some malt to it in the back ground. Flavor, caramel and brown sugar up front, and then a big citrusy and earthy bitterness kicks in. Really nice, alcohol isn’t very apparent. Damn this is good stuff.

Pours orange-ish in color with a small head. More hops than I was expecting, but the surprise was good. Slight alcohol kick. Smooth, crisp, hoppy. The best beer I have had at Barley’s so far. Try it out!
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
This is easily the most bitter, hoppiest barleywine I’ve had. My parents hate it, but their just Weak! I like it, but not quite as much as their stout.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Growler of Divine thanks to KP. Poured a very deep hazy reddish-brown with an off-white head. Sweet fruity malt aroma with dark fruits and some citrusy hop. The malty flavor was sweet and fruity with hops cutting through to make it soooooo drinkable. The was medium to full bodied. I don’t know the ABV but the alcohol is hidden. It was so tasty I almost drank the whole growler myself.
