DIPA's that drink like Barleywines

Thinking about cracking my year-plus-old bottle of Lenny's...

 

I was actually going to make this same recommendation.

 

GO FOR It! !! BUT let us know the results

 

Will do! Gonna go so far as to say that it will happen tomorrow... if I can find the bottle!! Lol.

 

it is double so your thoughts?

 

Resin. This shit sucks. Was hoping for hoppy goodness but got malty sweet bitterness. Yeah it was fresh too

 

It is what it is! Lol

 

Rough opinions... I thought Resin was pretty decent. Exceptional aromas of freshly-mowed lawn as soon as I cracked the can. Happy about the case-split between me and jeremy13586 (that shit's long gone now).

 

Not a DIPA or a Barleywine but, IMO, Double Bastard (American Strong Ale), definitely drinks like one to me. I also feel like a few of the Lagunitas offerings such as Undercover Investigation Shut Down (available now), drink like Barleywines as well. Cheers!

 

This is all a hoax to get you to buy old beer.

 

That, or trying to find the fruits of an experiment. In my situation, I drank three from my four-pack and put the last bottle in safe stow.

 

What if you just bought a 4-pack and replaced a bottle with a barleywine? Instant cellaring.

 

Genius!

 

Cigar City just came out with a new 110k+ batch 5, On the label it says that it is between a DIPA and a Barleywine.

 

I was sitting on a 2009 bomber of Smuttynose Big-A I.P.A. until recently just to see how it would taste.It was pretty good,for sure reminded me of a barleywine.

Cheers

 

Maharaja has my vote for sure. Great beer, but not a double IPA. Has a very syrupy sweet toffee flavor. I get very little hop flavor from this beer and the malt is front and center. Anyone else agree?

 

I would say Knuckle Sandwich is an excellent candidate followed by Hercules and Maharaja. On the flip side I think Green Flash's Barleywine and SN Bigfoot are barley wines that drink like DIPAs.

 

this is my answer as well.

 

Ska brewing Decadent Imperial IPA. I bought two bottles of this and couldn't finish the first. I laid the second down for two years to mellow out. Many will disagree, but I thought Exponential hoppiness was way too malty and sweet and drank like a barleywine. I'll throw in a nod to Knuckle Sandwich as well as TheJollyHop mentioned. Maybe not a total malty barleywine, but definitely sweet and malty for a west coast dipa. I actually haven't enjoyed that beer yet the few times I've had it. I'm sure more will come to mind soon.
