For this year yeah.
The death rattle for the Barleywine was the 2015 infection year. Barleywine was always aged in barrels that previously held regular BCBS, which made it so good. Barleywine aged in a bourbon barrel which also aged a stout.
After the 2015 disaster, Goose won’t take on the higher risk of a 3rd use barrel, thus the end of Barleywine. Then the lackluster reception of wheatwine and a sad coffee version of Barleywine and here we are.
