Flying Dog Horn Dog Barley Wine

pours a dark red/brown. aroma of alcohol. taste was balanced sweetness with malt and slight bitterness. very drinkable.

I was super-impressed with this one. 07 vintage, on tap at Brouwer’s Hard Liver 09. Pours a medium copper color with a thin head. Honestly tastes like Angel’s Share’s younger sibling. It has the same fantastic balance, with powerful notes of malts and hops. Tastes much darker than it looks. I’m impressed.

Bottle. Basketball-orange brown. Head dissipates quickly. Aroma is packed with booze, hops, spice, earthy and even some floral and dried cherry. Flavor of hops right away, and some malt and caramel along for the ride. Not overly sweet and just a touch of toasted malts at the end. Complex and rich.

(on bottle)Short hoppy nose and a whif of alohol, withheld, yet promising powerfull sent. Hazy dark orange, small head. The malts are more dominating in the taste and put a lid on the hops in the finish too. There are fruity notes, but the floresent aromas, taste and finish isen´t that complex, a fine hopped BW.

Bottle. Poured a cloudy reddish brown, thin white head with little lacing. Aroma is of hops and caramel. Flavor is sweet, caramel , hops and very warming alcohol. Medium bodied, nice carbonation. Good.

From a bottle poured a brown/ dark ruby color with a good amount of head. Nice sweet malty flavor with a lasting finish.

Pours dark caramel color with minimal tan head. Aromas of molasses, brown sugar and dark fruits. Very sweet malty flavor with molasses and dark fruits. Alcohol is slightly noticeable. Medium body with minimal carbonation and a syrupy mouthfeel.
