@piercethevale Yeah this was a freaking fantastic beer! Ive actually had it on tap about a week ago and it was still great. I swish to get all the aromas and flavors, it really help improves the flavors of the beer so you can taste everything.
Great review! I got one a while back, it's cellaring now. I want to drink it so badly but i'm going to have to let this one age. It's good to know that a grade "A" beer awaits when the time is right!
Great review man....it is even better that your a tad bit buzzed. Anyhow I agree that this is a great beer. I had it not to long ago and I also hated that all of the flavors worked so well. As a home brewer I am bewildered at how this one works so well. Anyhow this is a great beer and I glad you enjoyed it!
I didn't know what to expect with this one but I liked it a lot. Thought it was smooth drinking and had a nice bit of hops in there as well. A++ beer!
Stupid Ken and Jack, making it so difficult to remember their names.
It definitely is a balanced beer full of craziness in one. I personally didn't enjoy it too much because it was pretty roasty, and I would prefer more barleywine than stout. Still amazing they made it, and that the booziness is well hidden.
Hahaha loved how you said Black Barley IPA instead of Black Barley Wine at 1:03. You sounded like you were about to burst out laughing haha! Love how you were tipsy in this review. Still it was a really good review Chris! Cheers!

@djmx121 Yeah this one is only going to get better with some age. It didnt have a huge hop presence so the malt will really start to pop.

Wow, this beer looks and sounds beyond amazing! Great review, very vivid descriptions as usual!
It's ironic, I've got the Sierra Nevada 30 anniversary glass, but I haven't tried any of their special beers (and I probably won't get a chance to).

@DenisLD Yah I think the only ones available now are the Barleywine and the Grand Cru. Do you not get SN beers up in CA?
BeerGeekNation 1 year ago
@BeerGeekNation Nope, at least there's none in Quebec and Ontario... The only SN beers I've tried were brought from NY.

@rlynge HAHA i agree 100%. This was one of those beers where I was like, this is the kind of beer I want to brew but probably never will

Nicely done. Not sure I could have reviewed anything when I was that inebriated. Maybe I should try it sometime.

@TheEndosymbiosis I wasnt really inebriated just a bit tipsy from a 13% beer before this one.

@StumpyJoeJr Yah its a very easy to drink barley wine. Ill be curious to taste this one in a year. HAHA keep an eye out for the Grand Cru!!

It was hard to find a bottle myself. But one of my regular liquor stores finally got a couple of cases. If you can't get a bottle soon let me know.

this beer started out great but finished a tad weak. I'd love to try a cellared vintage of it in a year or two.
