I got a 2008 Mill St Barley Wine for Christmas. I dunno if several years of cellaring would have made it drinkable but it was bloody awful when I tried it. I can't bear the dump beer down the drain so I finished it ( and I don't want to scare my wife off buying me beer ) but it took two days and had to be chased down with some tasty brew ( Brooklyn Lager ).
That's really too bad. The low carbonation and almost 'syrupy" nature of the malts and hops makes it a slow sipper for sure. It reminded me of the Thomas Hardy's ale, but easier to drink. That said, I enjoy the Thomas Hardy's ale as well, even when young, so go figure.toweringpine wrote:I got a 2008 Mill St Barley Wine for Christmas.

After a long day, a San Miguel single (for shits n giggles), St Peter's Winter Ale, and a whoooole lotta Finlandia Vodka. 
(not really)
Actually, the Winter Ale seemed somewhat Imperial Stout like to me, on a smaller scale, and I thought maybe if I added a shot of the Finlandia to it, I'd essentially have Dogfish Head World Wide Stout!

For a WWS you'd probably have to add half a bottle of Finlandia. That Sh*t is strong! I picked up a case of True North Strong, which is a malty hit of deliciousness. I then moved on to the Post Road Pumpkin I picked up at Summerhill last week (the last two bottles!). Now I'm drinking a Wild Rose Cherry Porter, whic is a western masterpiece. I love beer.JesseM wrote:After a long day, a San Miguel single (for shits n giggles), St Peter's Winter Ale, and a whoooole lotta Finlandia Vodka.
