Loved the other two, wasn't too crazy about the apple brandy bourbon mix here though, a bit too much fruity and vanilla for me, but purely personal preference as Elke loved this one. Still liked the booziness and base though.

A LOT of apple brandy, tastes like more apple brandy than barleywine, still delicious.

Whoops drank the top rated one first, super chocolatey vanillay bourbon deliciousness. Why are blended and apple brandy waxed and this one isn't? The world may never know! Warm cake and plum pie.

A deep dark stout with a very thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, licorice, vanilla, alcohol warmth, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, vanilla, cacao, alcohol warmth, very nice and smooth. On tap at The Farmhouse btv.

Poured a black color with a small tan head. Aroma was roasted malts, smoke, some pepper. Flavor was big roast, pepper picks up a bit, but isn't overwhelming. Nice roasted finish. At a DCBeer share.

Papaya and banana nose. Opaque orange, thin head. Guava and papaya, fairly dry. Full body, easy carbonation. Quite interesting.
