Oct 7, 2008 Old Foghorn is first off, a great name for a barleywine. Second, Andy Musser from the Phils ol’ broadcasting team pours it at the Kennett Brewfest. Third, it is one of my favorite barleywines period, plenty of ripe fruit, malt backbone, but not port like. Super fantastic beer - highly recommended.

Oct 6, 2008 Bottle, picked up at Bellingers Jet Garage, Grove Nr Wantage,Oxon, consumed 06-10-08 Pours brown but a bit ruby reddish as well, white head, looks good. Some dark sticky fruits on the nose, predominantly figs and dates but also some raisins, bit Christmassy I suppose. Taste is sweet, malty and those dark fruits show again but backed up with a big dose of alcohol, really quite nice but not as good as I expected.

Oct 1, 2008 Pours dark copper with off white head. Aromas of caramel, ripe fruit, licorice, sugar and some alcohol. Sweet malty flavors of caramel, toffee and ripe fruits. Hops are mild. Full body with mild carbonation and a sticky, syrupy mouthfeel. A very good barley wine.

Malts, raisin, some bitterness, sweetness and tiny bit of liquorice in taste. Long lasting aftertaste with malts, raisin and light bitterness.
