Firestone Walker - Firestone XV Anniversary Ale

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff


So after not seeing this in stores when it was released last year (2011), I was a little surprised to see it at the expensive beer store in the neighborhood this week just as the XVI is also being released. After my positive experience with their DDBA, I figured I'd give this a shot too.

Very much in the style of a barrel aged barleywine. Some slight roasted malt notes in the finish. Vanilla and bourbon is very prevalent. Not overly alcoholic for the 12% abv.
