Aud's No Scufflin' Ale NHC Scores

In the Dixie cup last year, I entered Aud's No Scufflin Ale as an American Barleywine because, well, the recipe called it an American Barleywine. It scored a 26 and earned a comment that it was a good English Barley wine. So this year, I entered in Category 19B. This time it scored a 33. Judge One, a Certified BJCP judge had a couple of complaints. First it was overcarbonated. He mentioned that in every category of judgement. Second, it appears it was too hoppy. I can't tell for sure. He said the hop flavor lasts into the finish in the flavor category and scored 12 out of 20. There's nothing else to indicate why I got deducted 8 points. Judge Two, another certified judge, said it was a good beer, if one-dimensional. He also agreed the carbonation was too high. He further added that while the beer itself was dry it had a clyoingly sweet mouthfeel. What ever that means, he gave me 2 out of 5.
