12oz bottle into a snifter Nice aromas of dark fruits and everything to be expected, but almost a bit light for the style. Good, though.

Aroma is sweet malt with some spice. Flavor is very similar. Not that great.

Bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown with a thick white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malts, sweet potato, molassess, cinnamon, and allspice. Flavor is very similar to the aroma but perhaps not as sweet. Lots of caramel malt and sweet potato. Complex but not really that good. Also quite hard to drink. Meh. 6/4/5/3/11 (2.9/5)

Beautiful beer. Reddish brown with large, lingering head. Flavour is wonderfully malty and sweet with a fairly well balanced palate a bit strong on the alcohol side. Smooth and delicious. One of my favourites.

Rich orange, slightly red. Incredibly rich aroma. Sickly sweet. Taste has a rich amount of malt. Good but intense.

11/15/2007: Anchor Old Foghorn Barleywine Style Ale pours a deep amber color with a rothy beige head. Floral caramel malt, aged citrus hops, and some alcohol combine to form the aroma. The flavor contains chewy, sweet caramel and fusil-like alcohol along with some cherry woodiness. This beer has a medium to medium-full body and is sticky on the glass. The alcohol is not well-hidden. Overall this beer is more like a strong ale rather than a barleywine.

12 fl. oz. bottle (J7S; 8.8% Alc/Vol) from ??? . Rating #1173 for this beer.

Pours clear, dark mahogany, with a thin beige head, good lacing. Big, rich, toasty aroma with leather and wood. Full bodied, thick and warming, with a sharp edge. Assertively sweet at first, toffee, toast, plum, citrus, pepper and pine flavors, with just enough bitterness in the finish to almost balance it out.

Barley sampling march 2009. Bottle best before oct 2006. This bottle is over the edge. Small head over an amber ale. The aroma containes hops and caramell with lots of madrification and oxidation products. The taste is sweet with caramell and plesent bitterness.
