for the foggy evening

Here's my opener for the craft beer week: Anchor Brewing Old Foghorn.  It seems to work with the gray weather we're having at the moment.

The beer is a barleywine ale, with a sweet, malty smell.  The color strikes me as a jewel-like reddish brown.

Yeah, gray clouds really bring out the color

The flavor is almost syrupy sweet, but with a noticeable bitter fringe.  The bottle itself recommends this as an afterdinner drink, to sip while relaxing.  It does have a pleasant taste for enjoyment on its own, and the sweetness makes it feel like a dessert.  Quite nice on a sprinkly evening.

And the bottle fits right in your hand
