Flying Dog Horn Dog Barley Wine

Poured a normal brown color almost not head. Aroma was dark fruits and caramel. Flavor was like bad dark fruits like they were borderline bad when they were used some pine hops. Very astringent. All bad, train wreck.

12 oz bottle I believe that is the last bottle from my local trade with Drnk McDermott back in the fall. Thanks, Mark! Pours a dark brownish red murky pour, no head that forms into a small film, with some good aromas coming off. Aromas are a touch boozy, hitting up caramel and toffee with notes of vanilla, light cocoa, and subtle licorice. There is still a bit of a hoppy floral, but lacking a bit for the sweetness that is being thrown at me. Initial is malty, a little dead body wise for the style, throwing caramel, toffee, and vanilla at me straight away. A tad thin, with some coffee and chocolate brownie coming into the equation further into the body. The hops have died considerably, leaving this brew unbalanced, but preserved. Finish is malty with subtle hop bitterness lending more of a hand. Dissappointing overall, but well preserved. Hops could have played a more key role.

Hazy amber brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is heavy on the alcohol, with nice roasty dark malt. The flavor has a bit of hop bitterness and ends in some chocoalaty/coffee roast malt flavors, which mingle quite nicely with the finishing hop biterness. Nice American BW, not exceptional.

Bottle, 355ml - Hazy amber red beer with a lazing head. The aroma is malty with notes of caramel, toffee and hops. Flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of caramel, licorice, chocolate and alcohol. Not at all as bitter as u would expect an American barley wine to be. Had higher hopes actually from this brewery.

A decent barley wine. Licorice and alcohol in the nose, tastes much like it smells.
