Horn Dog Barley Wine Style Ale
Easily the best Flying Dog brew that I've had. The dark mahogany body was too briefly capped by a thin tan head. Very little lacing noted. The nose is very light but gives off subtle fruit notes along with rich butterscotch and toasted malts. This follows in the very warming flavors that blend nicely to produce a very rich fruity overlay to the rich malt base. Quite sweet and cloying the brew nonetheless satisfies with its richness and high alcohol sense. The alcohol is not buried here but rather celebrated within the barley wine depth. The mouthfeel is full, creamy and smooth with a bit of bite from the high alcohol finish. Limited drinkability due to the sweet richness and high ABV.
