Tröegs Flying Mouflan

Great Divide Old Ruffian

Old Ruffian poured a clear, mahogon color with a pen width, off white head. The aroma is clean, with some sweet fruit, bready malt, and herbal hops. The first sip is smooth, malty, and slightly sweet. The hops come forward, running the course of the body as they get bigger and bigger. The finish is very, very dry with a huge, long lingering bitterness.

Overall, this is a very good beer that extreme hop heads will adore. This is a sipper for sure, a hop assault on the palate that could pair with big, flavorful dishes. Drink this now or lay it down, the choice is yours.

Flying Dog Horn Dog

We continued our Flying Dog tasting with Horn Dog, which is Flying Dog's Barleywine style ale. The beer is aged for a minimum of three months before it is packaged. It pours a brown color with a thin, tan head. The nose is quite malty and the malt and sugars continuing into the first sip. The middle is slightly dry with more malts. The finish has chocolate on it and is nice and short while leaving you wanting another sip. Horn Dog is a really nice dessert barleywine that is smooth all the way through. This beer is well worth trying, but at 10.2% ABV it is a beer made for sipping.
