Masterfully done, tequila barrel finish for earthy citrus notes? A little sus. But hell it turned out amazing and on point. Loved the sweet tangy, dates and citrus notes. Kinda like the pineapple stouts that tasted like cake, magical! Thx FlandersNed !

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish straw gold with a quickly dissipating half finger of head. Muscat, gooseberry and muted pineapple aromas. Very fine, almost non-existant carbonation but as it warms some bubbles up. Notes of pear, pineapple and muscat on the palate. Light dank on the finish. Very nice.

500mL 2023 bottle drunk 2/18/24. Bright, clear, deep amber with little/no head. Nose is rich, long, intense English Barleywine notes of raisin, toffee, vanilla. Throw a bit of more acidic red fruit in there and add a dash of barrel character to help tone down the malt intensity. Sweet, mega-malty, soft, luxurious. Toffee-vanilla-raisin with a bit of creme brulée on the finish. Just a bit too sweet for me, though only just barely. Wish there was just a bit more balancing barrel character, but it's nice to see a more OG Barleywine done and done well.

Bottle thanks to Steve. Pours black with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong dark fruit, mezcal, wood, licorice. Slick body, similar flavors to nose, boozy, very nice.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clear golden copper with a two fingers of white foam that lingers. Grapefruit, honey and caramel malt aromas. Palate is similar with too low carbonation unfortunately (classic Wax Wings). Lingering grapefruit, caramel and honey notes with some nice bitterness. Wish they would learn to carb their beers properly.

Can. Pours a slightly hazy light gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy citrus and grass with a hint of pine and some sweet earthy grains underlying. Flavor has slightly dank citrus and grass with a bit of earthy sweet grains and a touch of tropical fruit underlying.
