There was going to be a review here but it turns out I can’t handle barley wine in any way, shape or form, so instead I will just leave you with a gentle caution to make sure you realize just how pungent, rich and intense a beer that’s nearly 12 per cent ABV must needs be. It’s like ice wine and beer had a baby, and that baby wants to punch you in the mouth real, real bad. Only you can know whether that’s a good thing for you, but for me it’s just a baby punch too far.

I’m going to go have some juice instead and think about my life choices.
