John Barleycorn Barleywine

Today's advent beer pours cloudy amber, with a very thin head that dissipates quite quickly.

Aroma is intensely malty with some strong fruity notes.

Flavor is similarly malty, but with lots of nice hops and plenty of alcohol.

Finish is pleasantly balanced, but leans a bit toward the sweet. There is a noticeable lingering alcohol warmth as well.

This is a really nice Barleywine that seems perfectly aged after two years on the bottle.  Highly recommended.
