Flying Dog - Horn Dog Vintage 2008

By far the biggest dog in the yard... Horn Dog Barley Wine is a dark and malty English-style Barely Wine that is aged for a minimum of three months before being packaged. Like a fine wine, this beer will only get better with age when stored at optimum conditions.

I had been searching for the regular Horn Dog in the 12oz bottle.  I found the special Vintage version in a 7oz bottle at my Craft Beer Outlet store.   

The ABV is 10.2 and the IBU rating is 45

Style - English Barleywine

Glass to use- Pint Glass, Snifter, Oversized Wine Glass
Delivery - 7oz Bottle

Can be cellared for long periods, under the proper conditions.

The Pour - Pours a brown color with a small tan head. Some lacing.
Aroma - Malty, raisins, sweet.  Very pleasant.
Taste -  Not as sweet, a bit metallic, some hops.
Mouth Feel - No carbonation.  Full body.
Drinkable - Pretty good, however the aroma is better than the taste.  Maybe my taste buds were off today.  Will tray again in a few months

This beer may pair well with cheese and deserts.

This beer gets a Duper rating of B.
BeerAdvocate Rating =B+
Ratebeer Rating = 93
