Commercial Description:
Doggie Claws has a deep copper color and an intense hop character. I use Simcoe and Amarillo hops along with Organic Pilsner malt, British crystal and dark wild flower honey collected on Mt. Hood. The beer is ready to drink now but will improve with age. Happy Holidays from the curs at Hair of the Dog. - Alan Sprints, Brewmaster

Bottle. Courtesy of Pinball. Muddy brown colour with no head. The bottle should have rested for a day or so before opening it. Lots of barley and dry fruity hops in aroma. Flavour is very ridh malty and hoppy in a great balance. Some spices and peach there as well. Creamy body.

Bottle. Low and fluffuy quickly disappearing off-white head. Dishwater look-a-like body. Malty heavy barley malt aroma with some alcohol notes. Flavor pretty alcohol dominated hoppy but also with some sweet and fruity notes. Low carbonation. Short aftertaste. Complex and well balanced. Too bad that the alcohol is so dominant.

Pours a dark amber color with a big light brown head. Very sweet tasting and smelling barleywine with toffee, raisins and almonds being apparent in both. Very chewy consistency and all in all just pretty damn good.

Vintage 2004. Pours a hazy dark amber with an off white head and a few floaties. Smells of caramel. Quite sweet with lots of toffee aromas. Also aromas of raisins and prunes. Also a faint touch of citric hopsaromas. Full body. Medium carbonation. Slightly sticky mouthfeel. Some residual sugars. Short toffee-and-raisin finish. Awesome. BIG thanks to whoever traded me this one; sorry for forgetting who you are.

Bottle thanks to BuckeyeBoy. Poured dark amber with big tan head. Aroma was floral, hoppy, citrus, and sweet. Taste was very smooth and creamy, with floral and citrus hops. Finished very nice and enjoyed very much. A nice barley wine.
