AleSmith Old Numbskull

4.4/5

AROMA
8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20

750 ml bottle into snifter. Pours cloudy red color with a dense 1 finger light tan head with great retention. Aromas of strong caramel, citrus, toast, molasses, and honey; with some pine and grapefruit notes as well with some booze. Taste of tons of caramel, honey, molasses, toast, and orange. Not much bitterness noticed on the finish, but there is huge malty lingering notes of caramel, bread, and molasses; with some citrus flavor. Insanely smooth drinking for its alcohol level with no alcohol in the taste and almost no warming noticed on the finish. Insanely smooth and drinkable for the alcohol level. Medium carbonation and huge full body. Overall, an incredible barleywine, and another fantastic beer from Alesmith.

Another great beer from Alesmith, as expected. Another one of the best barleywines I have had yet. Highly recommended.
