A West Coast style barleywine. A huge malt profile and a very aggressive dose of premium domestic hops give Old Numbskull a tantalizing complexity, from the aroma to the aftertaste.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a cloudy brown with small beige head. The aroma is caramel, vanilla, dark fruit, booze. Slick body, candi sugar, vanilla, licorice, raisin, boozy finish, very nice.

Bottle @ Fermentoren, had a glass thanks to some guy in the bar, haha. Pours very cloudy muddy dark brown with a thick offwhite head. Aromas of caramel, dates, barley, some hops, slight licorice. Taste is pretty roasty and caramel malty up front, some hops and slight licorice, vanilla, dates, coffee, subtle orange peel.

Mahogany brown colour with lasting head. Aroma and flavour are packed full of sweet malts and sweet dried fruits. Lots of sherry notes. Light bitterness in the finish rounds it off well.

Bottled 1/23/14. Very nice! Malty, some hops, good balance. Thick and flavorful. Almost woody notes. Mellowed nicely.

Bottle from Ale Arsenal. Hazy, copper pour with bubbly ring of beige head. Caramel on the aroma, bready malts. Taste amplifies the caramel, mildly sweet, strong too. Fruitcake, raisins and molasses. Dries out a bit in the finish. I’ll be feeling this tomorrow.
