Still lots of mildly bitter cherry. Not my favorite BC, but still good.

Has definitely changed a little in the last year. Cherry is still forward, but not overpowering and not too sweet. The dark chocolate and malt come in powerfully after the cherry and linger through the finish, with a little hint of the cherry on the back.

The cherry flavors kind of resemble similar notes to aged BCBS, but with a bit more sweetness and a touch of tartness. While not my favorite variant, it’s pretty solid.

Nice coffee flavor with a hint of chocolate at the end. It’s not as thick as most Finback stouts.

Lots of hazelnut flavor with a fair bit of sweetness from the caramel. Thoroughly coats the palate and is nice and think. Finishes with some chocolate and a hint of the barrel. Really enjoyable.

Lots of sweetness; almost too much. A hint of dark chocolate. Not getting much else flavor-wise. Perhaps when it warms, there will be more.

Black Friday at HBS. Holding up great.

Tasting more chocolate than I remember, along with the coconut and pineapple.

Still love this year’s Prop. The coconut blended with the pineapple just works and neither is overbearing. Plenty of dark chocolate comes shining through and the finish brings back the coconut and pineapple.

So yummy when it warms up a bit, when the coconut comes out. The pineapple is subtle, as is the lime. At Prop Day, I tasted banana, but not getting much of that from the bottle.

Holding up very well. Bourbon, vanilla and coconut sweetness, followed by barrel, dark chocolate and roasted malt.

Not gettin much coconut, if any but the bourbon and roasted malt comes through and is boozy and full flavored.

Really damn good. Tons of dark chocolate (slightly too bitter), nice smooth coconut & subtle vanilla finish, topped off with bourbon warmth.

Still tastes great. Can’t wait to try it again in a couple years.

This is the 3rd time I’ve had this and it’s been amazing every time. Lots of toffee and typical barleywine sweetness, but with more depth and lots of booziness. Can’t wait to taste this after a few years of aging.

Just as good as I remember on Prop Day. Can’t wait to see what a few years will do to it.

One of the best Barleywines I’ve had. This one is from January 2020 and is 12.5% ABV. Boozy, sweet, and has depth.

Held up well. Wish I could find more of these.

Very sweet, banana, cinnamon.

Raisiny, soft, rich.

Very thin, strange aroma and flavor. Not something I’d get again.

Perhaps it’s what I ate but this tastes like caramel. So good. I know it’s the base, but it tastes different in a good way. There’s a sweetness that I’m not used to tasting, followed by the familiar flavors. Really enjoying it so far.

A little too bitter for more than a few sips.

Still lots of strawberry. Subtle sweetness and chocolate. Held up well.

Lots of strawberry on the nose. Subtle coconut flavor with a slight tartness from the strawberry. Also getting rich dark chocolate flavors along with the barrel. Much thinner mouthfeel than I expected, but you’re still left with stickiness at the end.
