    A lot less spice. I liked the spice. Still really good.

    Are the bottles flying off the shelves in stores? I know last year's release is lingering in places, so would expect this will hang around awhile too...

    This years is very nice, the cardamon is muted and the malt is huge. It is really everything I love in an english barleywine.

    Unless they made less this year knowing not all of last years had been sold at the retail level.

    The bottles are numbered this year. Mine is #3400 or so. Not sure out of how many.

    Picked up 3 bottles from Thomas. I liked last year's, despite people's critique about the cardamom. I heard it focused more on barrel blending and less on spice this year.

    Anybody interested in trading a brewery-issue 750 for a store-bought bomber and some change? Maybe a bottle of BCBS or something? I kinda just want a matched set with the bottle I got last year.
