Flying Dog Horn Dog Barley Wine

Nice amber malty english style barley wine , sweet caramel and alcohol ,a little rough in the finish (grainy astringency ) but after two who cares, perfect for cold nights and bonfires

This was a good beer, but a little bit too much licorice taste for me. Flying do makes another mediocre beer.

Aroma is caramel sweet, hops & alcohol. A decent BW but a bit too much residual sweetness is on the cloying side. I think this one needs more cellar time.

Bottle. A hazy red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has strong notes of caramel, but also light notes of hops. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of caramel, but also alcohol, and lesser notes of wood.

Bottle: Deep caramel, burnt, nearly brown, moderate foamy light beige head, spotty lacing.   Sweet malty nose, some notes of dark pitted fruit, graham cracker, and alcohol.   Fairly decent malt sweetness up front, raisin, fig, and dates are all present.   Hop bitterness is actually quite low, as compared to the malts.   Quite warming.   While the alcohol is noticeable on the nose, it does not come across as being alcoholic on the tongue.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate to full.   Semi-sweet malt finish, strong raisin, fig, and date, with a slight alcohol burn that lingers.   Better than I remembered, and certainly not as hoppy/green as I thought it would be.   Not bad!

Undrinkable. I’m supposed to stretch this out to 75 characters, but there’s not much else I can say beyond "bad." Nasty, thick, alcholically too hot, acidic.

35,5 cl bottle. Dark brown colour with a little head. Sweet malty aroma with hints of raisins. Great flavour of sweet malt, burned caramel, littlebitter and a nice warming finish from the alcohol, very intense and very nice endeed.

Bottled. Dark brown colour, not quite opaque, with ruby highlights. Small, creamy tan head and sticky lacing. Aroma is clean with malt and molassas. Flavour is licorice, molasses and dried fruit. The 10.5 ABV is well hidden.
