I love Barleywines. They do take a while to get used to. Horn dog is mild compared to some of the big ones
No, a vodka taste wouldn't be the norm. Maybe it's just one with an extremely high alcohol content. I've had barleywines that were balanced, some that favored malt, some that favored hops, and some that have a decent alcohol bite. Just depends on which one you get.

Sounds like a hot alcohol flavor. Oftentimes high alcohol beers that were fermented warm or not aged long enough can have that flavor.
