Ale Smith - Old Numbskull Barleywine

Bottle pours a slightly hazy amber color with an off white head and excellent lacing.

Aromas are malty and boozy.  Carmel and toffee notes with a solid bright hoppy sensation to the nose.

Flavors are toffee and brown sugar with a boozy warmth.  Light citrus notes with some tropical notes.

The Finish;  Solid Barleywine...big malty flavors with a good dry and bitter hit of hops.  Nice boozyness...very nicely balanced throughout.

Rate = 10
