3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Split Thy Skull event at Tatt Moms. Dark hazy amber pour. Slight foamy head. Similar to the strong high-hopped Nugget Nectar but even stronger and with some dark fruit and vegetable notes. The darker malts mellow out the finish a bit, but still big bad stuff!

Reddish amber little off white head; aroma is sweet sugary malty with some hops; Flava is rich sweet and nice hoppy bite; feels medium bodied; finishes long bitter and some greens(grass ? Celery?)

Bottle. Pours murky brown with a small tan head. The aroma has some caramel notes and a lot of astringency. The taste is medium hoppy bowery with a ton of sweet boozy caramel.

Good barley wine. Heavy malt aroma and taste, but not overwhelming like others. Balanced with dark fruits, toasty bread, and slight hop bitterness. Good amount of lacing on glass and is dark brown in color with a tan fluffy head. Creamy mouthful. Would recommend to others.

Cloudy dark amber with ample foam, got to be unfiltered. Aroma of caramel, molasses, raisin, and some citrus. Starts with sweet toasted grains and toffee and then follows quickly with moderately bitter hop finish. A little bit of booziness, but really drinkable for a barleywine. Great rounded taste and another excellent beer from Troegs!

Bottle shared by my good bud Brewkkake, you rock brotha! Big aroma of malts, caramel, slight hops and slightly boozy. Easy to drink given the 9.3%ABV.

This is delicious. Caramel cocoa malty hop nectar. Not a classic barleywine
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
From a 22 oz bottle shared at home. Pours a murky brown with an off white head. Aroma of caramel. Flavors of spruce needles, caramel and candy sugar. Intense bitter finish.

Bottle. Smells like a barleywine with just a hint of dark chocolate. The flavors walk more of a fine line between an aged IIPA and cocoa nibs, all melded over a somewhat too creamy mouthfeel. It's an awesomely unique mix of a chocolate stout and a hoppy barleywine.

Had this over the summer, bonus from Jwiss22. Very sweet for a barley wine. The bottle description was the best - hops dipped in candied sugar. Good stuff, barley wine is not my top style but I enjoyed.
