COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
American Barleywine. First brewed to celebrate the end of strong beer prohibition in Ohio (thanks, ex-Governor Taft!) We use more malt and more hops to create our strongest, most full-bodied flavorful ale. 11% ABV and 107 IBUs! ...low beer warning...

Strong on the alcohol flavorings. A substantial thickness to the brew, slightly syrupy. Good mix of malt and caramel. Not my favorite here - but definitely a great offering from Barley’s.

Copper body with a white head. Lots of lace. Tons of hops in the nose and finish. Alcohol (12% ABV) is completely hidden. Dangerous beer. I need more barley wines...

Dogbrick (4828) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - NOV 22, 2002
Tasted at Barley’s 10th Anniversary Party on November 21st. Cask-conditioned version. Poured a light chestnut color with a thin tan head. Strong malty/oat aroma. Very powerful flavor and alcohol content was very evident. Very malty with a little caramel, and it actually had a slightly bitter finish. Overall a very interesting brew.
