Hair of the Dog Fred

[Batch #1, drunk with Fred Eckhardt at GBBF 2004] A brown slightly hazy beer with a fine orange head. The aroma is of pudding and wood, clearly a well matured beer. The flavor is of alcohol, caramel, wood, and pudding with a dry woody end. A great beer - especially when aged.

Batch 63, sampled February 2006. An unclear amber beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is very complex, and very hoppy, but also with a light touch of alcohol. The flavor is very hoppy especially notes of grapefruit comes thru, leading to a dry bitter end. The body is very thick. I like the aged version best. [8/3/8/4/17]

Pale. Very sweet. Bitter. Raisin and toffee flavours.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, dark amber golden with a small, off-white head. Distinct and fat hop aroma. Very solid body with lots of caramel malt, fruitiness and a shipload of aroma hops. Somewhat medicinal accents. Hoppy, bitter finish. Courtesy of Storm. 120207

Aromatic, smooth barley wine, with signature HOTD flowery notes, a rich malty base, and a lively disposition. Age it and it gets heavier, perhaps a little too heavy in its maltiness. A rare barley wine to be consumed fresh.

Bottled. Hazy orange coloured with a lacing beige head. Sweet aroma of malts, alcohol and hops. Nice sweet flavour with lots of malts, hops and dried fruit. Nice long bitter finish.
