Very interesting take on a barleywine! Uses 5 different NZ hops. Fruity and delicious.

330ml can @ Benzai's Anti-Carnival Valentine's Day Tasting, Feb 26. Pours an unclear deep amber, off-white head. Sticky sweet caramel is the order of the day .. that's about it .. a touch over-sweet, a bit sticky, moderate bitter finish.

Bottle shared at Anti-carnavalstasting 2026. Amber color, small off-white head. Smell and taste malts, leaves, bitter. Meh. Not a fan.

330 ml can. Pours a dull dark mahogany with full foamy head. Aromas of caramel/brown sugar, dark fruit, some dankish bittering hops and bready malts. Flavors are big sugars and big doughy malts leading with some underlying dried fruit. Unrefined and too sweet and malty.

Clear rich amber pour topped with a lasting light beige head.
Nose is stewed fruits, booze, light herb, candied fruit rinds, caramel, grilled pineapple.
Taste comprises Creme Brulee, caramel, fruit cake mix, brown sugar melt, booze, light spice.
Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close laced with a balanced spike of alcohol.
Tidy sipper.

Can. Near clear amber beer, small bubbly cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, a mild viscosity, reasonable fine carbonation which is absolutely fine for a big barleywine like this. Smooth rich caramel and cream malts, not that sweet. A mild bready richness. Rich dried fruits and a touch of brandy. Smooth finish. No discernable heat and only a mild alcohol spice on this hefty abv barleywine. An impressive and drinkable classic barleywine. Nice job.

Can from Stacks.
A: clear amber, small, off-white head.
A: overripe strawberry, plum, fig jam, cake, toffee, brandy.
T: sweet plum, fig, peach, toffee, fruit cake, sugared tea.
F: herbal hops, dried fruits, boozy brandy-like alcohol.
P: full body, syrupy-sticky texture, soft carbonation.
Certainly not on the subtle side. Expected a bit more hoppiness for the style though.
