A sneaker hit! Really mellow and pleasant sourness up front, and a lovely bit of funk on the back end that was super well balanced.

Still lots of apricot and quite delicious

SO much apricot still there, totally holding it's own. Map of the Sun on steroids, and it works, even helping to hide some of the astringency.

Very pastry, very stout, very good

Still great, mellowed nicely but plenty of fruit

Lots of fruit, apricots more dominant at this point though the peach is still a nice backdrop. Another favorite of the evening, likely due to lots of fruit!

Quite tart still! And lots of it is from fruit. Tasty.

Most fruit forward though that fruit was still very subdued. Dark sour seems to mask the fruit pretty quickly.

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.

Held up really well, some raisin in the nose but a balanced profile that still has some bite on the tongue. Noticeable coffee and vanilla as well.

Delicious and still plenty of fruit

Mellow and great warm day drinker

Delicious! Mellow, fruit still prominent, nice effervescence, a crows pleaser.

Tons of funk, way more than last time, with a still good amount of apricot backing it up. Not tart, but boy that farmhouse. Dig it.

Really great, awesome sour forward with a great apricot finish, an amazing fruit sour that I want more of.

Weird! Kind of a cough syrup thing at times, pretty sour, some occasional bright notes but overall not amazing.

Tastes much like the normal version from what I remember. Cherries are pretty subdued, but there a bit. Quite a nice Flanders.

Extremely tart, which carried through entire beer, with a decent hit of raspberry throughout. Held up extremely well, delicious.

Coming off the Upland this was quite mellow. Fruit mild but noticeable, all around easy sipper.

Still a ton of fruit in this one, and a favorite of many who tried it. Super balanced, just the right amount of sweet and sour.

Still lots of fruit, kind of low carb which helps bring it out, great color, nice balanced tartness to boot. Was great with roast pork!

Really cohesive blend of fruit for this one, and another easy drinker. Tiniest bit of Sante funk. Great beer.
