Goose Island - King Henry

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

Magically stumbled across a bottle of this for $15 or $16. There were still 5 or 6 other bottles when I bought this. Had I been thinking, and also willing to go through the effort of trading, those probably could have netted me whatever my heart desires.

Well, it's a bourbon barrel aged barleywine. No hop presence. Really sweet, with the standard vanilla and oak notes. Its pretty enjoyable, but there's no way I would've been satisfied paying an outrageous price for this.

Mandy also found it unoffensive, which is a glowing review for a barleywine (especially one barrel aged).
