Two Brothers Bare Tree Weiss Wine 2001

Tasted at 2008 Woodshop hosted by cquiroga. Malty. Light amber color. Little oxidation. Hing of sour. Buttery.

18th Rating from 3rd Annual Woodshop tasting in Temple City, CA. 3/1/08. One hell of a day put on by Cquiroga, thanks for a killer day Chris. Also spent the day there with bikesanbeer, my girlfriend Cyn, wetherel, JohnC, DenverLogan, dirty martini, jasparg, DrBil, IPAFiend, awaisanen and many others, this was one crazy day. Bottle from one of cquiroga’s many boxes. Pours copper and bubbly. Sweet nose, dried fruit. Taste is sweet and sour. Not as good as the 2005 vintage if you ask me.

Amber; big lingering head. Aroma and flavor are of funky rich apple malt beverage. Strange and unique fruit stuff...lots of flavors but not too beery!

pours a cloudy orange color with a one finger white head. aroma is of sherry and champagne, yeast, and malt. has a light to medium body with some sediment and ok lacing. flavor is sherry, oak, a little champagne, yeast, and malt. has some bread aroma as well with some nice carbonation. very awesome from the cellar and a nice beer all together compared to others’ i have rated. by the way the 10.5 abv dont taste it, dont feel it going down, but definitely feel the head and body buzz! some caramel flavor and aroma comes out as it warms especially on the second glass and the color is dark orange as well.

Pours a hazy straw amber. Very carbonated with a thick, soft head of nearly white foam. Fantastic lacing. Honey malt, caramel malt, and citrus in the aroma. Great wheat and sweet caramel malt flavors. Now throw in oak, pepper, and vanilla. There’s a spicy bitterness in the finish like noble hops and black tea. Full body, full carbonation (an understatement). exceptionally smooth, mellow, and flavorful. The alcohol is so well hidden that I uh well man you know it just um creeps up and ahhh... A world class beer!

Dark Mandarin Coloring with White Skin. Yeasty...Lightly Citrus...Malty Toast Notes...Alcohol Pretty Well Hidden. Belgian Qualities...Spices and Banana Notes...

HWOH. Pours a medium amber with some chill haze and a thin head. herbal and phenolic aroma with sweet caramel malts and nice doughy wheat. Flavor is more wheat, medium caramel sweetness, dried fruits, some slight oxidation. Mouthfeel is pretty smooth overall, and doesnt taste too strong.
