Who's been drinking this

2012 release
Simply aged, no barrel, lots of concentrated resin in an otherwise smooth, slightly molassesy ale. Wouldn't call it sweet. And it's so hoppy - on the edge of burning.
unknown release
This aged utterly fantastic. Loads of brown sugar throughout with a delightful grapefruit finish. 1998 vintage.

Strong pine like aroma. Otherwise tastes like am extra hoppy Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

Like drinking a pine tree wrapped in hops.

Hoppiness is welcome in a BarleyWine, but otherwise a fruitiness I didn't love
