This barley-wine style ale is extremely dark! I had to take this as Jon is not a big fan of this style, so here goes. As I poured, I noticed the cloudiness and somewhat red/gold colors on the edges. A full aroma of aged barrels is followed in suit by a strong taste that is creamy and thick. There is a tart ending that is quite unusual for most beers, but this is not a normal beer, its barley-wine. I’m not entirely impressed with this style in general and Horn Dog has been an enjoyable review. But this site isn’t about just drinking one beer, it’s about experiencing and embracing all brews and sharing with others. I will suggest this to the select connoisseurs of this complex style of brew.

Specs: 12oz bottle
10.2% Alcohol
Thanks again to Stephanie for the excellent brew to review.
