I agree. I did not pump this into my software, but at 1.100 this is almost definitely an American style barleywine. And looks like a great one at that.

Thanks! A barleycorn wine?
+1. That could be a “leftovers” beer that comes out damn good.

I was thinking maybe Imperial Pennsyltucky Common or Imperial Pale Porter. But barley wine works too!
After watching drew’s presentation on brewing on the ones I would call your beer a Big Brown

“Welcome to my house. Would you like a Big Brown?” Hmmm…
Most of my beers are 1.100/1090 and their always highly drinkable compared to most barley wines I try. But I’d be sown for a big brown…
