Brewer: Avery Brewing Company (Colorado, USA)
Beer: Hog Heaven
Style: Barley Wine
abv: 9.2%

Background: Bottle from the Vintage Cellar.

Appearance: Pours red-amber with a half-finger head that recedes quickly.

Aroma: Huge piney hop aroma overpowers the underlying sweet, bready malts.

Flavor: Great malt flavor, great hop flavor, but the two don’t mix as well as they should. Very hoppy aftertaste.

Notes: Definitely an American Barley Wine. You could call it a Double IPA and not be too far from the truth.

Rating: 3.7 out of 5
