Hair of the Dog Adam

pours a very dark brown with almost no head which is true to the style. taste is of fermented fruit and caramel. finish is very smooth. I would love to drink this again.

Bottle. Third try on this beer, first one not infected. (Batch 71) Pours black with lots of nice ruby edges and a small beige head. Aroma is smoky, sweet and rich. Lots of vinous notes, chocolate, and some alcohol. Flavor is so good, insane chocolate, dark fruit, sweet malts, Irish whisky. Crunchy awesome flavor. Gets a bit too sweet by the end of the bottle for my taste, but a very excellent beer.

Purchased at Belmont Station in a 12oz. bottle. This was my first barleywine, and the relatively low score may be a personal distaste. The label lists flavors of chocolate, smoke, figs, and leather. I picked up STRONG notes of smoke and figs, but not the chocolate, which might have balanced things out. Dark opaque color, enormous head with a long life.

Bottle. Huge beige creamy head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Very dark mahogany like color. Aroma was heavy complex with notes of vinous, raisins, prunes, light toasted malt, caramel and mix of other dried fruity notes. Also light alcoholic, nutty, chocolate, fig and even a hint of smoke in there somewhere. Over the palate came nice underlying hoppy notes. Full boded with a soft carbonation and thick alcoholic texture. Heavy sweet flavor with good counter bitterness. Lingering prickling alcoholic warming malty and dried fruity finish. Excellent beer.

355 ml bottle. Dark brown body, almost black with a beige head. Aroma is sweet malty, slightly roasted, fruity, liquorices and chocolate. A long and pleasant finish. Harmonic, tasty, warm and delicious.
