Horn Dog Barley Wine Style Ale
Horn Dog pours a hazy, deep brick brown color, pretty close to the color of a beer bottle. A small off-white head leaves a good amount of lace behind. There is a lot of sweet malt on the noce, along with spicy hops and alcohol. Some raisin and prune notes also show up. The taste starts with very sweet honey; almost candy-like. This is followed by a mild alcohol burn and a bit of bitterness. It gets a bit sticky sweet after a while but it isn't that bad as long as you eat something to break it up. I ate Wheat Thins. The mouthfeel is nice and full, though a bit slick and syrupy in the back. For a barlywine, this beer is very drinkable and I enjoyed it very much.
