Overall Impression : FlyingDogs Horn Dog Barley wine, I will let it sit from now on, dear god that's a good glass of ale, when aged.
Company Website/More: information on beer: 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.
