does not count daviddeep99 (9), New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Mar 18, 2002 A heavier, sweeter brew than the other Anchor offerings, but still bears some resemblance to the ubiquitous Steam. Tastes best at the end of the Anchor Brewery tour after having sampled all the other Anchor offerings, but also great on its own.
Ober (405), Best, Netherlands Oct 12, 2008 A clear red/bruin colored ber, with a small beige head. The aroma is freas, dark caramel malts, some sweet. There are hops. Also fruits. The taste of light chocolate, with fruits like berries, raisans. A little bitte. Some coffee candy. The aftertaste is bittersweet. When the beer gets warmer, there is a little sherry/porto taste. SamGamgee (593), Santa Cruz, California, USA Oct 10, 2008 12oz bottle. Deep red-brown with a lasting head. Fruity, toffee, candy, jelly... nice aroma. Sweet, caramel, intense fruitiness, light hops, light bitterness This is really tasty, and much more drinkable than most barley wines that I’ve had. Full bodied, but not sticky or too chewy like some. Smooth to the max. malrubius (461), USA Oct 8, 2008 12 ounce bottle dated April 07 in pint glass. Reddish amber with ring head. Sweet cherry port aroma. Sweet brown sugar ripe cherry with medium bitterness. Medium-full body and low carbo. Nice sipper. I’ve loved this one for a long time, but now I prefer a more aromatic and hop flavored barleywine like Bigfoot or Old Ruffian. azlondon (504), Greater London, England Oct 8, 2008 Appearance: Dark brownish red. Very little head, tan.
Aroma: Sweet, caramel. Ripe fruit. Malt.
Taste: Smooth. Vinous fruit, malt. Sweet.
Info: 355ml bottle, 8/10-2008, 185/300, 200/500 DeadGuyFrank (345), http://westchesterbeer.com, USA 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.
