Dec 30, 2008 Bottle 0,355 l. Dark hazy amber with almost completely disappearing whitish head. Nose is fruit punchy, hoppy, chocolatey, very strong on fruits and sweet berries. Flavor is pretty big, fruit concentrate, some raisins, malts and chocolate. Very strong on fruitiness, a bit too strong and tongue numbing flavor. Nicely hoppy, but could use a little less of everything.

Dec 29, 2008 Pours a hazy deep amber brown color with a small off white head. Aroma is big and of sweet caramel malt. Taste is also very malty, slightly sweet and nutty. Not a big hop finish in this one.

Dec 27, 2008 Tremendous, majestic purple body with a head that forms a brownish, thick ring which settles nicely into an intimidating, murky pool... grape and malt dominate with chocolate and sweeter hints following (licorice, the label suggests)... yeasts are subtle and complex... WARM...curls around the tongue with minimal effervescence... a flourish at the throat... full-bodied with a lingering aftertaste.... strong, malty--grapish tastes, almost of merlot--instantly warms with a pungent punch and slyly leaks some chococlate flirtations at its finish... the Flying Dog select mixpack has been solid, and Horn Dof befits its style with accuracy, smoothing out by mid-glass and numbing pleasantly...

Dec 26, 2008 Bottle. Deep orange brown color. Black sediment lingers with carbonation bubbles and sticks to the side of the glass. Flavor is big malts, black licorice, and a bit of chocolate liquor. Finish is anise and a bit of warming alcohol. Light bodied. Pretty decent.

Dec 23, 2008 2001 bottle shared by robert the bruce at stateline. Sampled next to a 2008 bottle, wow, huge differences. Both had a sweet aroma. Taste was sweet malt and sugar all blended together. Maltier then I expected. The 2001 bottle was past its prime but held up quite well. Smoother then the new bottle. Thanks bruce for sharing

Dec 19, 2008 12 oz bottle from the new Flying Dog mix 4pack purchased at Spirits on Rt 9 Toms River. I have copious notes on this one but it all boils down to one thing....ALCOHOL BOMB. This beer was a total let down unless your looking to get real banged up real quick pass this one up and pass it up quick.
