If you want excess, oak, heart heft, mouthfeel, coating, slick sticky mouthfeel, and an unshatterable malt back bone: this is your beer.
Drink at room temp and let this open up like bourbon. The depth is staggering but I would be shocked if someone could finish half a bottle let alone the whole thing.
Alright I am going to have to eat an entire plate of shit for this one. Illinois destroyed all competition.
Straight jacket took first place.
King Henry took second.
I can’t make this shit up. For all my shit talking, you cannot deny greatness and these beers are God Tier. Consider this a formal apology for all those times I made fun of KH and called it offstyle and noted the stout characteristics. Actually no, fuck that. No apology, just go buy more Straight Jacket.
I am dead.

Tonight I am hosting a blind barrel aged barleywine tasting with the 29 highest rated BA Barleywines EVER. yes, including Wooden Hell, k13, deal with the devil, fucking king henry, Great: all them bitches.
Here is the meretricious contest: if you can correctly guess the lineup and how they place 1-30, the winner with the most correct spots wins an ultimate coovee blend of all 29 bottles. Submit your guess in the comments below and finger your butthole while you do so, to increase the guessing climax.
here is like 2/3rds of the list. If I die, admin privileges go to Ehammond and Levitation, but they have to work cooperatively.

You guize biggest beer geek contest I am gong to when.
plz comment and make votes.
i think the contest has votes.
Does the BJCP have a taste term for when a beer just tastes racist?
Just kidding. This is basically a 2011 Rodenbach but less acidic and more diacetyl. It is ok I guess.
Only thousands of cans a month so much rarer than bcbs which is hundreds of thousands of bottles in one month
This is the Dogecoin of the beer trading world.
As much as I don’t want to deep throat Westbrook, this Is a really solid saison. Dry, light musk, pear skins, hay, raked leaves, and a bitter foxtail finish.
Imagine seizoen Bretta cut with blue label Arthur.
Good stuff. Recommended.
