Beer #3700 is a barley-wine style ale brewed by Bacchus Brewing in Queensland, Australia. Another mini-milestone! A barley-wine-style ale clocking in at 14%, this one doesn’t manage to hide it’s booziness but it’s still very good. Smooth, chocolatey and quite…
Beer #3570 is a barley-wine style ale brewed by Big Shed Brewing Co. in Royal Park, South Australia. Although boozy at 10.5% it doesn’t come across that way. Treacly, malty, sticky sweet on the tongue, dark fruit bringing up the…
Beer #3377 is a wheat-wine style ale brewed by The Bruery in Placentia, California, America. This barley wine style ale is, for me and possibly only me, a rare misfire from The Bruery. While it’s drinkable, it reaches a whopping…

Beer #2661 is a barley-wine style ale brewed by Brewfist in Codogno, Italy. It’s unusual for me to follow up a 14% beer with another beer of that strength. Admittedly it’s ‘only’ 13.8% but that’s pretty damn close. It’s another…
Beer #2660 is a barley-wine style ale brewed by Bacchus Brewing in Queensland, Australia. My 2660th different beer and the 1000th different beer that Bacchus have brewed, this is definitely a sipper at 14% and it took me almost two…
