Description:
Old Foghorn® is brewed based on historic English barleywine methods. It is highly hopped, fermented with a true top-fermenting ale yeast, carbonated by a natural process called "bunging" to produce champagne-like bubbles, and dry-hopped with additional Cascade hops while it ages in our cellars. Made only from “first wort,” the rich first runnings of an all-malt mash, three mashes are required to produce just one barleywine brew. (Description provided by company)

Comments
Fruity brew...in a good way.
Came out amber with thin, bubbly head that evaporated quickly. Smells of lots of fruits - raisin, citrus, fig - along with toffee and hops. Taste is also really fruity with a hoppy and bitter chocolate finish. Medium body with mild carbonation. Pleasantly surprised.
