Poured from 2014 and 2015 bottles side by side. Aroma in both are very similar, but the 2014 is a bit more oxidized and has a bit less hop notes. 2014 has more caramel and toffee while the 2015 is more hoppy with some pine and woody hop notes. Both have light alcohol spice. 2014 pours a dark brown but the 2015 is a bit lighter and redder. Moderate sized, thick, tan heads that exhibits good retention. Light lacing and moderate length legs. Flavor is fairly sweet on both but a darker, richer caramel not is present in the 2014. More toffee in the 2014 as well. Moderately strong bitterness. 2015 has a bit more hop flavors with more resin and pine. Both have similar bitterness levels and alcohol spice. 2014 has some nice oxidation with a bit of honey and sherry. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium low carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice barleywine, but the age makes it better by accentuating all the caramel and toffee. The age also minimizes the hop profile and the oxidation adds some sweetness.

Deep red waxed 2015 vintage 22oz bomber, courtesy of burg326, pours with a murky brackish deep auburn brown body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up plenty of booze notes (enough booziness to seem barrel aged) followed by some malt blunted pine hops, some maltiness and then a light spicy oak note in the background. The taste is similar as it delivers a pulse of booze followed closely by a blend of bitter to resiny pine hops and smooth sweet malts. The malts take on a bit of a molasses like sweetness to midway to help keep the boozy notes in check. Into the finish the pine hops are met by a light spicy oakiness and residual sugars. Pretty nice balance between sweetness, booze and bitter hop notes and this does delver a sizable load of hoppy bitterness. The booze is too forward in the nose but overall I like it. Very nice sipper.

Bottle shared during the RBWG 2015 Grand Tasting. Pours clear, rich gold with a fluffy, white head. Pretty nice citrusy hops in the nose, some accents of grapefruit, a bit of papaya. Medium sweet flavor with light pine, pithy citrus, some pale grains. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish with more pith, dry pale bread, pine. Not bad.

22 oz bottle from Hops & Barley, 10/17. My 100th Barley Wine Rating! It pours a murky, almost muddy looking brownish-orange color with a small, bubbly off white head. Nice caramel and citrus aroma with some sweetness comes through over a strong bitterness. Fairly full bodied, a bit boozy, and with a fairly sticky feel. Pretty solid beer.

Poured from a vintage 2015 bomber. Aroma is rather malty with some toasted bread, light caramel and toffee, light raisin, light nuts and hints of chocolate. Light oxidation and honey notes. Medium light hop character, pine and grapefruit. Light alcohol spice. Pours a hazy, light brown with some copper hues and a medium sized, moderately thick, tan head that recedes quickly to the edges where it lingers. Low lacing and medium legs. Flavor is moderately sweet, a bit more than I was expecting from the aroma but not nearly as sweet as a lot of big beers these days. Moderately strong notes of toasted bread with a bit lighter caramel. Faint toffee and nuts, light raisins, figs and honey. Some light alcohol spice. Moderately strong bitterness with moderate hop notes of grapefruit, pine and floral. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium low carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright American style barleywine. I like that the sweetness is kept in check. Quite hoppy which works well with the less sweet malt presence.
