Day 354 - Old Foghorn

Late in the game here, and a new style comes into play. Fact is, it's getting really tough to find beers I haven't had yet that aren't $5 a bottle.

A bright, fall-leaf colored brew, but the fun stops there. The taste is akin to those same leaves steeped in water for a few months, then a few cupfuls of sugar added. As this is the first of this ilk I've had, I don't have anything to compare it to. May just have to get one other before year-end just to see.

Specs:

Full name: Old Foghorn Barleywine Style Ale
Brewed By: Anchor Brewing Co
From: San Francisco CA
ABV: 8.1%

So, the website claims it is fully-hopped, but that taste is burried deep under the sweetness. Hum, actually, this is like a dessert beer of sorts, so if you're into that kind of thing, give this a try.

Off now to watch American Idol with new judges and switch to the whisky of the week blog. Life is tough... ;>)
