ITT: Barleywines

[regularjohn]

So I was scrounging around in the cellar and came across these:



The Sucaba is a 2012, and Cuvee 2 I'm not sure, although research says it came out in 2008...hard to believe it's been 9 years down there, who knows.

Anyone had recent experiences with these or similar vintages?

Thanks!

drink them both right now

Because they've fallen or are falling off?

Bottle date 5/4/2015. Found it collecting dust at a liquor store close to my parents' house. Get more oak than bourbon, and an interesting kind of minty finish, but I kind of dig the finish. Pretty solid. Might have to pick up the last couple bottles next time I'm down there.

Just found a 2012 in my basement. Guess that’s headed to the fridge shortly. Also a bunch of DDBA.

I'm pretty sure this was the final batch of Our Finest Regards from Nov 2015. This is tasting as good as I remember it. Full-bodied, tons of caramel and brown bread, brown sugar and burnt toast finish. I'm getting teary-eyed already...really miss these guys.

I got this as an extra in a trade way back in 2011 and loved it. Probably one of my first experiences with BA barleywine.

tobacco on the nose. still a lot of lingering bitterness. some nuttiness. malts do a tiny bit of a coffee thing. not as complex as third coast
