Flying Dog Horn Dog Barley Wine

Brewed by Flying Dog Brewery
Style: Barley Wine
Frederick, Maryland USA

Pours dark but clear dark red-brown. Smells of sweets. Tastes thick but well balanced; nice mix of malt/spice/alcohol flavors. Maybe better if I waited a year - but I’ll but some away for that too!

Amber to brown beer, no head(poured to cold). Fruity and sweet malty aromas. Fruity, licorice, hoppy and roasted taste with some coffee and chocolate near the finish. Fruity, sweet and bitter, alcoholic finish. Nice barley wine, but i’ve had better ones.

[Tasting @ yespr] Hazy brown with large off white head. Sweet fruity and hoppy aroma with caramel and chocolate notes. Sweet flavor with fruity, hoppy and roasted malt notes. Caramel and chocolate notes as well. Ends bitter. Warming alcohol in the end.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours deep dark red with a creamy tan head. Smooth barley aroma, mild chocolate note. Flavour is smooth caramel malty, a little liqourice hops edge, smooth chocolate and a nice alcohol warmth. Ends with a nice level of bitterness, warming alcohol and smooth chocolate/caramel malt.

Bottle.[Tasting session @ yespr, thanks for a great evening Jesper] Average thick beige and creamy head that mostly diminished. Fair display of lacework. Mahogany colour. Nice and complex aroma of bread, grain, caramel and lots of dried fruit and vinous feel over this beer. Almost a light sweet chocolate at the very end. Very full bodied with a soft carbonation and thick and light alcoholic texture. Moderated to heavy sweet flavour with light notes of bitterness. Lingering malty sweet finish. Nice and smooth Barley Wine.

Pours an almost black ruby red with little head. Smells of rich dark fruits and cotton candy sugars . Starts with dark fruit sweetness. Chocolate dipped cherries and brandy flavors are rounded out by subtle citrus rind bitterness. A bit of alcohol tingle finishes this pleasant brew out. Definately saving a few bottles for the years to come. I have a feeling this will age well.

Murky mahogany with a thin tan head. Nice mildly sweet caramel smell. Full bodied with a super smooth mouthfeel. Malt driven taste has a just right cotton candy sweetness. Hop are noticable only in their absence. An American bw that doesn’t choke you with hops. You gotta love it. 51706

Bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a bubbly medium light tan head. The aroma is fruit and alcohol. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is a sweet malt and fruit with a long dry finish. A good barleywine from Flying Dog.
