Pours a dirty light gold color, dark honey amber in the glass; dense carbonation; thick, spongy, sculpted head, very long lasting. Rich, alluring deep caramel smell; ripe apple; raisins. Rich flavor full of sweetness and spiciness; cinnamon and apple pie; allspice; apple brandy; light phenol spiciness. Heavy body; dense and rich with spicy residual sugars; sticky; alcohol warmth.

This beer exudes Fall flavors. Spicy harvest fruits and farmers' market produce mix with fallen leaves and cider. A lovely beer.

Poured with little head and lots of sediment. One of the best barleywines I've had taste wise.

Harvest Ale (Matured In Lagavulin Whisky Casks)

J.W. Lees & Co.

Barleywine - English

Whoa. a boozy, sweet and super heady malt bomb. Lagavulin is an absolute favorite Scotch Whiskey. Peat moss and serious vinalla oak complexity. 2022 vintage is 11.0% abv. Opened on 10/12/24. Caramel and funky pepper in the back. Bitter finish, tangy too.

Oh boy! This is a great Barleywine. Only a year old But tastes so good. Great body, sweet with some dark fruit flavors.
Damn near perfect if not perfect English Barleywine.

Forget about it. Don’t even contemplate. Buy every last one you see. It’s a light, sweet, complex, sipper that you want to pour back like a light beer. It’s a “pretty” drink, marvelous to look at . Genteel in its flavors, with bold traits from assuredly the yeast strains used. No alcohol bite or warming. Absolutely delicious.
