Tons of malt in the nose, but balanced on the palate, some mild stout characteristics give way to more of an Double Double Barrel kind of profile. Tasty, and not hot in the slightest.

Weird, but good! Almost has a sour thing going on from the blueberry, but very mild, and it comes through nicely on the palate.

Wow tasted great. Still some heat after a few sips, no oxidation notes, tons of chocolate and coffee. Can't believe how well this one has held up.

Tasting good, lots of chocolate and some oak char, feel like this may be better fresh (at least the 2014), but still damn delicious.

As good as remembered, especially with chocolate cake. Soooo drinkable for 15% ABV, with great coffee, malt, and bourbon notes, with a delightful bit of heat on the lips. So glad this beer has survived InBev.

Lots of tart up front, some subdued berry character, not medicinal and quite tasty.

Delicious, not too sour, not too sweet, perfect amount of fruit in the nose and on the palate. Glad they did a second run of this.

Nothing mind blowing, but still a very tasty, straightforward stout

Really dark, tons of roast, a tiny bit of bitter chocolate. Great, drinkable stout, and hides the ABV perfectly.

Was great. Hazelnut faded a tad (which I liked), balance of sweetness was perfect for a Bruery bottle, another crowd favorite.

Mild hazelnut in the nose and on the palate, lots of Black Tuesday influence, some solid bourbon, and definitely some heat. Tasty, but think this may hit its prime in a year or so.

Wasn't too tart and definitely still a solid amount of fruit there. Great bite and flavor, solid sipper.

Delicious! Super clean, good bit of apricot, perfect tartness, an all around wonderful beer.

Tasting good but not stellar, recall it being better on draft, I did have a pour towards the end of the bottle so might have been dregs interfering.

Lots of oude bruin, lots of cherry, lots of pucker initially, though it mellows out nicely as it warms up. Tasty!

Tasting great; lots of coffee in the nose and up front, mixes well with the BCBS backend, and a lot more coffee came out as it warmed up. Delicious.

While it was nice to have a more hop forward beer in this sea of malt, I can see why its rating isn't that hot. Blonde and bland.

Tasty! Has a surprisingly hoppy nose and a bit of hop bite, otherwise a solid barleywine, not too sweet and very drinkable.

Lavender super present in this! Amazing nose as a result, and really nice, if slightly weird (in a good way) on the palate.

Tasting delicious, lots of fruit, not too tart at all, super clean, love this beer.

Fruit in the nose, lots of acidity and fruit on the palate, got a definite cranberry thing going on that's really tasty. A crowd pleaser.

Still a surprising amount of coffee, and tasting great, thick, not too hot, and that great BCBS stout character. Still digging it.

Tasting great, though as expected a bit muted on the coffee compared to drinking it fresh.

Much sweeter than remembered, though not in a bad way, coffee definitely subdued but still present in the nose and on the backend, has some of that BCBW marshmellow I remember too. Tasting great.

Still great, lots of coffee on the nose and on the palate, and so drinkable for the ABV, hardly any heat. A great blend.

Sooo much coffee presence, delicious and up front, much better than the 2012 bottle opened a while back. Superb and not grounds-like, just a great blend, should drink another soon.

Great! Lots of coffee, great nose, and even when cold tasting awesome. Even better as it warms up. Delicious.

Not so great, some raisin and definite oxidation and a bit too much barrel. Meh.

Held up OK.

"This barley wine is gnarly wine" says Evan. Big, thick, some booze heat but pleasantly so, and a reduced candy profile from what I last remember.

Not as much magic as last year but still quite tasty, nice malt character without being too sweet.
