Commercial Description:
Big malty flavors, including licorice and chocolate, are balanced with a moderate hop profile. Brewed with copious amounts of prized malts and flaked oats, the Barley Wine is so strong that it has to be aged for several months before we can bottle it. Like a fine wine, it will continue to improve with age up to 2 years after bottling (If kept cool).

Rather complex beer - taste the chocoate and roasty carmel flavors. A bit on the sweet side. Color is rich amber; the presences of the malt is definitely in the aroma. For a higher percentage ale, this alcohol does not overpower the flavor and richness of this beer. Definitely would recommend this beer.

Rich mahognay color with off white head. Chocolate covered cherry nose with pillowy malt aromas. Heavy mouthfeel with richness till the end which is long in coming. Chocolate, malt, tootsie roll, and some fruit all mingle. A nice brew!

Aroma is rich and has hints of licorice, orange and chocolate; it lacks the alcohol nip that I have gotten from most barley wines. Color is a clear mahogany with a fairly thick and persistent yellowish-beige head. Flavor is mainly malty and has ribbons of burnt caramel, unsweetened chocolate and hops; alcohol bite is not very noticeable, which is a plus. Texture is very smooth, and aftertaste has equal amounts of sweetness and hoppy bitterness.

Dyb brun øl. Duft viniøs, let karamel, malt Smag: Malt, tung, meget humlet, frisk, lakrids, meget fyldig. Skal drikkes kold Super øl, der minder om en kombination af en classic Barle, men med mere hume og let stout i. Alcohollen bemærkes ikke - øllen er simpelt hen for lækker. Smagen er næsten perfekt.

Pours a dark brown with a small head. Has a great barley wine flavor. Its not to thick. Does a nice job of covering up the alcohol. You can drink a four pack of this easily. I had a fun friday night.

bottle. a huge malty barley wine... not very hoppy as some other barley wines. wonderful aromas of malts and caramel. excellent fruit flavors fill the palate... I pick up some cherry, apple and a touch of plum. A bit spicy on the tip of the palate, while thick and full of character throughout the finish... alcohol is well hidden. Quite excellent Barley WIne from Flying Dog...
