Flying Dog, Horn Dog Barley Wine, 2004

I've had two of these for quite some time in the beer fridge, they are a 2004 vintage but I think I may have purchased the 4-pack only about 2-3 years ago?? I wasn't keeping track the way I am now.

Poured this into a tulip glass, a brown murky color, some floating setemant got into the glass.

The tan-brown head was very thin and almost didn't cover the top. Slight lacing as I drank.

Whiskey was my first impression then the smell of caramel and sweet malt as well as a bit of oak.

The taste was all caramel and sweet malt with an alcohol bite.

Very thick, heavy and syrupy on tongue.

A very good sipping beer, almost a bit too sweet.
