I have a bottle of this still in my cellar, need to get to it sometime. As much of the hophead that I am, I really prefer English Barelywines more(or aged American style). I also had their 900 last year which was 4 years old at the time, very excellent.
@entertainmentguy1984 I paid about $3.50 for the one bottle at the store so I'd bet it would be $5 to $7 at a bar if you could find it. Thanks for watching!
Barleywine isn't supposed to have *prominent* hop notes. They're supposed to be malty with just a hint of hops to cleanse the palate. This recent phenomenon of over-hopping everything is really confusing the genres! In fact, I've proposed to several breweries that if they're going to have a hoppy, high-ABV beer... that it should be called a "HOP-WINE" should another category not be more readily appropriate. Please support this cause!
@speedogoth99 You are correct, traditional Barleywines don't have much hops. US brewers definitely like the hops and I enjoy them but sometimes it is nice to have a more traditionally brewed to style beer such as this. Cheers!
Any plans on reviewing the new Sam Adams Seasonal (Alpine Spring) in the near future? I tried it last Friday on draft at an Applebee's in town and was instantly impressed. Thankfully, my local Kroger already started carrying it and I got a six-pack as soon as I could.
Definitely has turned me on to Keller/Zwickel Biers. Too bad other beers of the same genre are probably nigh impossible to find, other than ordering them online.
@metroidprimefan18 I will try to review some Spring seasonals but it might be a while as I'm still working through some Stouts & Barleywines. Another Keller style beer to try might be Sierra Nevada Kellerweis. I believe it is a year-round offering for them and is pretty darn good.

@khunopie Me too but YouTube kept rejecting the videos with it even though it was royalty-free. It got to be a real pain so I just stopped using it.
