2/23/19 - Had a 2014 vintage at the 2019 Mad Fox Barley Wine Festival. No change in my review. A decent but not outstanding barley wine.

A very malty start with a dry herbal hopped finish. 3.5

Orange pour yielded almost not head. Aroma hit the boozy yet appropriate for strength notes, as well as caramel and toffee.

This one was pretty old, I think it was getting close to 7-10 years, had those old hop vintage bitter notes, some citrus, more sweetness. Carbonation was low, oxidation was in a nice place. Earthiness in the mouthfeel.

Nice malt sweet entry. Cooked caramel. Golden raisin and fig fruitiness from the malts. Has a similar malt profile to racer 5, but obviously amped way up. Hops are piney, slightly danky, earthy, hints of tropical/pineapple are noted. Clean bitterness pokes it head out at plates end, lingers just a touch. Pleasant, creamy finish wraps this brew up. Carbonation was appropriate. Body was slightly chewy. Alcohol was covered well. Mine was gone before I knew it. A great example of an American B-wine.

Had on tap. The smell is malty and sweet caramel, some pine with a slight basement dankness to it, odd. The rest of the beer is very ho-hum, with the taste featuring caramel malt, booze, some light hops, toast, and some herbal undertones. Feel is a touch thin and bright for the style.
