Flying Dog Horn Dog Barley Wine

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

Bottled. Aroma has sugar, caramel malts, some hoppiness, some dry fruits. Clear, dark amber coloured with a thin head. Taste is sweet, relative bitter, has sugar fruitiness, hops. Good, typical barley wine.

Hops, malt aroma, dark brown, with a small tan head. Treacle flavour, fairly bitter aftertaste. Alcohol is obvious, average.

Dated 2001. Chestnut colored with a thick beige head and fair carbonation. Malt and alcohol nose. I must have had this at a good temperature because I thought the flavor came through very well. Malt, caramel, chocolate and alcohol played well together. I don’t know if I would want to drink a bottle from this year considering how good this one tasted.

I liked this one. Marked as 10.2%. Small, creamy, off-whitee head with a murky amber body. Decent lacing, as far as retention goes, the head reverts to just a ring in about 2 and a half minutes. Aroma is of sugar, seeded fruites, and chocolate malts. Flavor is of licorice, vanilla, chocolate, alcohol, coffee grounds and dates. Creamy mouthfeel, light carbonation, noticable alcohol.

Quite bitter. Not as thick and barleywineish as I’d expected. Smoky and earthy, as well.

Cloudy brown body with a few big bubbles acting as a head. The attack is hard-toffee that turns into raisins pie towards the finish. As it warmed-up it started to develop other random fruity notes and each sip seemed different from the last. The beer is actually quite tasty despite a surprisingly light body. Forget about the thick rich malted body of the great Barley Wines. Barely noticeable hops. In-your-face warming alcohol. Good beer but below average for the style. Erratic and aggressive… Horny Dog.

Bottle, at proppen, birkerød. pours brown red, small white head. aroma of hops, wheat, sawdust, and dark fruits. flavor dark fruits, strog hops, alc. alc. is noticable but blends in well.

355ml bottle bought at SuperBest in Valby. Cool label logo. Pours a deep, red-brown body under a thin, off-white head. Firm malty to the nose. Has also got a malty taste profile with caramel notes and alcohol beneath. Vague bitter endnote. Flat carbonation. Alright, but a rather monotonous Barley Wine (Tromsø, 14.10.2008).
