This wonderful, and potent IPA from Athens, GA based Terrapin Brewery. If you're ever on the east coast or down south PLEASE don't hesitate to try anything these guys put out. You can also tour the Brewery and sample all of their beers.

Honorable mention: Sierra Nevada's Oktoberfest.

Bells best brownale. I am a huge fan of brown ales and this one is pretty good. Extremely balanced on malt/hops. Black Market's shakedown is slightly better imo. Brewing a brown ale with japanese barley tea (mugicha) tommorow hope it turns out well! Pic is my favorite lately.

In alot of cases yes, but this one was really really good so i can see why people would want to get them. To me it seems like they are prioritizing other markets higher than us though as they put out such small numbers of bottles here!

The order was made at around 10:01, 1 minute after the release, seemed to go trough just fine, everything else i ordered that time around came just not that one, waited and it never showed up. Know people that ordered later than me and got theirs!

Do so. The KBS is really one that should be on top of that list as it seems to loose so much coffee tones quickly, well that and the bourbon being kind of tame on it also (read that they use old barrels for a second go around).

Cracked this one open and oh boy, it does say barley wine, but this is really a thicker more malty Imperial IPA. The malt sweetness rounds the bitterness right off making it dangerously easy to drink!

yeah, read the hoppy avery in a lot of ratebeer reviews. people were saying hoppy too many times.
I had a bigfoot when it came out and felt it was also too hoppy for a bw.
like my bw more malty than hoppy, or more fine liquor, like the one mikkeller made for kulminator's 40 years. :P

Myself i really liked this one, ordered it exactly because it promised more hops than your regular barley wine, i often find alot of barley wines to be overly sweet and no bitterness to balance it out, really did not like for example North Coasts Old Stock!
