Man, either you people don't appreciate a good barleywine, or this is some sort of hype push-back.
I appreciate GR's history and could argue its among the flagship beers for LA. It's a solid American Barleywine. That said, I think most craft beer drinkers including myself prefer an English style Barleywine.
I just don't get the richness out of it that you get with Mother of All Storms, A Deal With the Devil, Kuhnhenn and others. That being said, if there's a few styles I'm take it or leave it with its Barleywines.

I agree with this... GR is a very good barleywine, but IMO its no better than Big Foot which is on shelf 6 months out of the year.

I'm sure you realize that all of the beers you listed are barrel aged. As a matter of fact all of the top 20 English Barleywines on BA are barrel aged.
Maybe 'most craft beer drinkers' just prefer barrel aged barleywines to non-barrel aged variety. Who would have guessed...

I don't think there's any single style where I would take the English version over the American.
