D, you get all the good SN stuff!

Drank a bottle of the King Henry last night. I'll be honest, I didn't care for that one as much. Great quality it just didn't appeal to my palate as much.

Maybe if I was able to get more special release SN I'd enjoy them more. The regular lineup is not bad by any means though.

English Style barleywines are hard to get into Týr. I didn't enjoy them at first, but now I love them. They are very sweet and malty, tons of caramel notes, toffee, chocolate, leather, ect.

Yup I felt the same and though I'd drink it again in the right mood, I wouldn't make any trade's for it.

Also agree with CWS and would add if your just trying the style to try one that is not barrel aged. English style Barleywine, like a vintage Brooklyn's Monster Ale, provide great complexity that is not obscured by the barrel aging contribution. Also, maybe try and American style, some incredible one's out there as well; again maybe not barrel aged. It's funny to me as I love barrel aged beers in general; and while I have enjoyed some barrel aged Barleywine's I mostly prefer them to not have been. But that may be just me.

Yeah I agree on the Barrel Aged aspect. That adds another level of flavor, some people don't like it. I think the bar is set with JW Lees Harvest Ale as far as non-barrel aged english barleywines are concerned. Had an 2002 Lees recently, drank much like a port. Maybe a little too sweet for my taste. Would have been great with a cigar..

I almost grabbed the Double Bastard but they wanted almost $80.00 for a case of 12 bottles.

Yep, definitely. I'll probably grab another sixer to throw down there too. I have two from last year, and I plan on grabbing a couple every year.

full case of the newest batch of Hopslam
2 bombers of the new release of Goose Island Bourbon County Coffee Stout

I passed on the Bourbon County Bramble. Doesn't sound appealing at all to me.
