A strong barleywine with a great amber appearance. A good balance of hops and malt in the aroma with a buttery taste.

Cask at the Grey Lodge in Phila. Nice solid barley wine. Smooth with a hint of hops.

Surpisingly light color for a barleywine, some hoppiness, doesn’t do a great job masking its alcohol, but its decent none-the-less. Very smooth, and almost buttery, great to keep you warm on a cold night. Sadly, only served in small brandy snifters at the brewpub.

Typical barleywine for the most part. It might just be me but I’m beginning to notice pretty uncanny similarities in the yeasty flavor of most Philadelphia-based beers.
