Feb 25, 2009 bottle - Pours amber-orange with a thin off white head. It smells of sweet caramel malt with a little dark fruit and alcohol. The flavor is sweet malt and an oak note that I associate with barley wines. Despite being a wheat wine, it struck me as very similar with maybe a bit lighter flavor than many barley wines. There’s some alcohol presence as well. It finishes with mild bitterness.

Feb 16, 2009 Dark and amber colored with little to no head. Slight floral, pine cone aroma. Palate is sticky and bitter. Chocolate malts seem out of place here. Plenty of sticky caramel and a sweet finish. While not cloying, lots of flavor for a wheat-based beer.

Feb 12, 2009 Bottle from Oakes and Beershine. I thought this was a wheat wine? Caramel/apricot color with a fair sized head. Aroma is very sweet with caramel, honey, and bread. Flavor is pretty sweet with a bit of alcohol on the tongue. Flavors of caramel, yeast, honey and some woodsy notes. Nice brew.

Jan 28, 2009 Pours an orange color with a tiny white head. Smells sort of toasty with lots of caramel. Very sweet and very boozy. Some butterscotch and honey under all that alcohol. Some banana as it warms. I suggest splitting this 22oz bottle as it is rather tough to finish.

Jan 27, 2009 This is not a Barley wine, it is a WHEAT wine. Very interesting! Poured a caramel color with a dark lacy head. The aroma was very sweet. The taste of sweet malt was abundant. Once it warmed some the mouthfeel was full, soft and velvety. Along with the malt you notice an oaked characteristic that makes a very nice addition!
