This is, honestly, the first beer I've ever had that I would call perfect. It passed my two tests for perfection: First, if it's not an IPA, would I rather be drinking an IPA? No. Second, would I rather be drinking wine (never, ever happens)? No.

If Toblerone made a beer, they could only dream it would turn out like this. Toffee, honeycomb, roasted almond, and so much stone fruit it's like sucking on a peach pit. Certainly the first time I can call hops seductive, evident, but well concealed, and eventually enveloping. What seals the deal though, is the absurdly creamy mouthfeel, like a satin pillow. For $15 there isn't anything from anywhere that is better. — 8 years ago

Quite nice for a domestic, in a similar space as the Laphroig 10; has some caramel but without the peat and smoke. — 10 years ago

This is a very nicely balance rye. Nose is toasted cinnamon and clove. Palate is sweet brown sugar on the entry followed by distinctive rye spices. Finish could be a bit longer but has a nice unexpected barley note. This is a full bodied assertive, yet gentle, whiskey for those afraid of ryes (like I once was...). — 9 years ago

Honey color with thick legs. Toasted barley, oatmeal, wet grass, caramel, vanilla, hay, charcoal smoke, and honeycomb. Medium finish. Medium finish. — 9 years ago

If grapes and river rocks had a baby. Roasted corn and freshly washed dog, green strawberries and fig newton. Perfection of balance for a barley. The sweetness is secondary, and that is just right! The acidity loans a deft touch. Creamy and short on the caramel, there is an applewood point, and an alluvial depth. Thanks to Josh for bringing this Lawrence gem to the Sunshine State! #barleywine #freestate #kansas #agedbeer — 9 years ago

95% corn 5% malted barley, not rye! Delicious! 10, 23 and 53 gallon barrels, hence the baby bourbon namesake after the baby barrels — 10 years ago

When one needs a "dry sherry" for mushroom barley soup, why skimp on quality? Especially when the recipe calls for ¼ cup...more for the chefs! — 10 years ago

Stillwater Sake Style Saison - a beer brewed with barley, sake rice, hops and yeast. Raspy dry, almost a little gose-ish with a semi- salty, mineral finish. — 9 years ago

This is one of the most purely delicious spirits I've tasted in quite some time. Bourbon-like vanilla and cherry aromas, prevalent chocolate in the middle and roasted corn at the end. Alcoholic, but smooth on the palate w/ more of that bourbon corn and butterscotch. Very cool product!! Hope to see its return! — 9 years ago

Honey-like golden color with endless micro bubbles. Sweet barley aromas with hints of honey. Full body beer, very creamy and very smooth flavor profile. Incredible harmonious and smooth passage. I could drink this beer by the gallon, it is so smooth and creamy. 91 pts. — 11 years ago
