This Barleywine is only a couple weeks old and it already tastes great! It has that distinct barleywine flavor: super malty and alcoholic, with a bit of sweetness. I crashed it at 1.025 in order to save some sugar to back that big alcohol content (~12%!). It seems well balanced at this point - I'm looking to age it considerably however.
