Might have kicked the alcohol up a bit if brewed!

Kal...now seven years on and looking back, was there a point where you liked the hop profile best? I'm guessing all the aroma/flavor had subsided by 18-24 months. Also, are you thinking CO2 or a nitro gas mix for this beer?

Good question - not sure!
Taste is subjective so I'm sure some folks would prefer it after a year while it's still somewhat hoppy, while others would prefer the raisin/plum maltiness and depth that exists today.
Given the length of time (7 years) I can't say my taste memory is good enough to remember how it tasted 5 years ago, let alone last year.
Mine's on CO2, though this would certainly work on a Nitro/CO2 blend too.

I respect your comments. I think most people over-estimate taste evaluation and memory over time. Currently, do the bitter addition flavors come through, or have they dissipated too?

The maltiness is definitely in the forefront now. There's still some bitterness to offset the beer from being sickly sweet, but not much in the hop flavour/aroma department.

Just packaged my Social Isolation Barely Wine. OG 1.103 FG 1.016 for a healthy 11.3 ABV. The tasting at packaging for hop forward with hot alcohol, but very tasty. I am looking forward to the aging process.

That sounds like quite the Barley Wine! Good job on the attenuation too.

Kal I oxygenated well and used a two step starter (1 pkg WLP001 and 3.5 liter starters) which seemed to help immensely.

Kal, I just brewed this barleywine tonight and am very happy with how it turned out. OG of 1.109 which I'm quite happy with. Tasted the wort after chilling and it was SWEET. I'm really looking forward to aging this and have a sneaking suspicion this will NOT be my only batch.
Thanks for all the work you put into these recipes and the build. I am really enjoying my brewery and the beers.
