Personally speaking, this is one of my favorite offerings from Heavy Seas Brewing (Baltimore, MD). Previously in 12 oz bottles, this barleywine joined the Mutiny Fleet (big bomber series) last year. Hugh Sisson and I shared a 4 year old cellared edition of this at Brick Store Pub last year, and that made me a lover of this beer for life.
