Old Blarney Barleywine
Served in the 22 oz. bomber, into a pint glass. The color is amber, with a wispy white head. The smell is an applish malt and alcohol. The taste starts off with a good sweet malt and then a very solid hop comes into it and keeps this one excellently balanced. Mouthfeel is syrupy. As for drinkability, this is likely one I could have a few of before it becomes cloying. A solid barleywine from California, and not surprisingly very hoppy as well. Though this isn't one of the classics of the style, I'd still have it again.
