A Tale of Two Brothers
Firestone Walker Brewing Company
Paso Robles, CA
English Barleywine 10% ABV
The beer is a dark brown color with a thin tan head that leaves a little lace.
Boozy aroma, also caramel, toffee, and dark fruit.
I get mostly caramel and toffee in the taste. Whiskey, of course. Some raisin and some cherry late.
Nice and smooth, and very drinkable.
