Beer-a-Day #298
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.
According to the label, this is VINTAGE0811. November, 2008 I assume? Well, then. It should be nicely aged.
Golden brown and an almost syrupy texture. Aroma reminds me of spicy dried fruit. Some vanilla in the taste and more of that dried fruit.
You know, I didn’t used to like barley wines; they were just too thick for me. But I’ve come around to liking them. This is simply delicious.

This is one of my favorite barley wines. Like most bw’s, this one will kick your ass so drink with care. As I recall, it’s more on the sweet side?
