Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me. What a great gift to self!

22oz. bomber, with a big thank you to HonkeyBra for the chance to finally try this much desired beer! Pours a dark caramel brown with a thin tan head that leaves a whispy covering. Aroma is oak, bourbon, vanilla, dark fruits, and rich caramel. Flavor is WOW! Maltilicious and velvety smooth, with a near perfect blend of dark fruits, oak, bourbon, vanilla, and caramel with a lovely lingering finish. Thanks again Andy, this one did not disappoint! Please don’t let this end...

Gold waxed bomber. Bottle from inkbus27, damn dude thanks. Shared with Dalekliz and my girlfriend. Damn these are some high ratings. I’m looking forward to this. Pours rich vinious brownish blackish red with a tan ring. Nose is very intense with tons bourbon a lot of booze. The nose also has some nice oak, and vanilla. Taste is woah, really damn nice, this is really damn tasty. Lots of bourbon, sweetness and oak, vanilla and caramel malts. This is one hell of a damn good barleywine. Throat heat is nice, alcohol is noticeable but under control. Overall this is damn good.

Bottle from mdm46410. Wow, an amazing Barley Wine. The best I’ve had since I first tasted Angel’s Share. Pours a cloudy and viscous rusty brown with a small beige ring. BIG nose of bourbon, sweet malts and candied apricots. Flavor was mostly bourbon with faint hops and caramel sweetness.

Bomber. Shared this one with jamvin23. He won it in the drawing. smell of bourbon right away that gives way to some more complex aromas. excellent taste. I am beginning to love Barley Wines.

Bomber. Pours dark brown with a tan head that dissipates immediately. Lots of carbonation. Aroma is of bourbon, wood, caramel, malt, spice, and alcohol...Bring on the face-rape! Taste is of malt, bourbon, wood, vanilla, oak, chocolate, and caramel. Has a faint, but present hop bite underneath the huge wood and bourbon flavors. Huge alcohol warming feel. Mouthfeel is thick and sticky, yet very dry. There is a lot going on in the flavors, but it all blends very well. Drinks way too easy for such a heavy beer. Amazing.

22 oz bomber. Very dark brown pour. Aroma is caramel, toffee and light bourbon. Some dark fruit and spice as well. Flavor has a baked sweetness. A lot like baked goods are creme brulee, with a subtle bourbon flavor. Vanilla and smoke abound, as well as a bit of alcohol. Palate is heavy and thick. The bourbon barrel in this one is perfect. An awesome beer.
