Review Details

AleSmith Bourbon Barrel-Aged Old Numbskull Barleywine Review

Pours a deep mahogany color. Notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasted malts. Smooth and rich with balanced hop flavors and toasted, sweet malt. Full-bodied.

Aged for one year in bourbon barrels.

An incredibly complex and flavorful beer.

Drinks nicely when released, after the long aging, but also cellars well.

Limited availability.

A-

Thick and malty with complex woody and bourbon notes. Smooth texture with some mild alcohol warming in the finish.
