Oct 15, 2007 Bottle (from Bitter Virtue). Intensely malty with dried and plummy fruits hints of liquoricey and almost spicey alcohol. Sweet and a bit syrupy, I’m quite glad the bottle was small as I wouldnt have wanted to drink anymore.

Oct 13, 2007 Reddish brown with a short lived tan head. An interesting aroma that I can’t quite put my finger on. Thin body, raisins & dates with a slight sour finish. No lace. One of my least favourite barleywines and atypical of Anchor IME.

Oct 9, 2007 Had this on tap at the best bar in Norman, Oklahoma...The Library. Definitely a great place to enjoy any number of delicious beers on tap while enjoying the atmosphere on the patio. Anyway, on to Old Foghorn. Pours a cloudy redish brown, lite head into a snifter. Sweet caramel malt with a slight nutmeg/nutty spice on the nose. Flavor on the front is slightly sweet caramel malt mixed with some spice/fruityness....followed on the back with some hopiness and a slightly roasted finish. Alcohol is pretty well hidden. Very smooth mouthfeel...great beer warmth. This is a great beer to get on tap and drink at around 65 degrees.

Oct 4, 2007 Strong alcohol content right off the bat. Sweet taste almost too much. Delicious. Amber with unreal head that lasted.
