Commercial Description:
This unique Barley Wine Style beer is brewed iwth 57% wheat, 43% barley, and German hops. We boil the 25.2 Plato wort for three hours. Then we start the fermentation with our Hefe Weizen yeast and finish it with a Scottish Ale yeast. Bare Tree is then oak aged for over one year before its release. The resulting product is extremely complex with flavors of caramel, melon, apricot, vanilla, oak, black pepper, and subtle banana. The flavors come in large part from the raw ingredients and this will vary from year to year. Bare Tree is ready to drink now, but like wine, will age in the bottle for the next several years. So, whether you decide to enjoy a bottle now or wait many years, the Two Brothers family offer a toast: "With every bare tree lives the promise of a new life." CHEERS. The 2002 vintage was aged in whisky and wine barrels.

Vibrant orange yellow beer; light head. A nice balance of malt and hops. Could stand a little more body. Unfortunately, my notes are a little sparse since this was the fifth +10%abv beer of the evening for us.

2005 bottle. Well carbonated dark amber. Thin head. Aroma of alcohol and wheat wine; fruit coctail, cheese, wine and alcohol. Lots of fruit in the flavour and a bit sour. Intriguing. Fruit salad and vodka! Mandarin orange with a hint of vinegar in the finish.

Bottle ( 500ml ). Shared with blankboy, garthicus, gregclow, jerc and mabel - my bottle. Hazy orange pour with a large lasting creamy/frothy off-white head, some floaties. Unique aroma - and this at the end of a tasting! - alcohol, pungent green fruit (mango?) - with latex paint and nectarines; somewhat floral. Taste was very, very appealing - juicy, floral, medium+ alcohol - like a barleywine, but less bitter, quite a different malt profile too. Light and airily lively mouthfeel, not too strong, but lets you know its ABV is no joke - lively and fruity, and very very good - I want to try this again one day. 2006 Vintage bottle.

2008 Vintage:

Cloudy golden coloured body with a light copper tint and a nice sized tan head. Aroma of pit fruits, spice, wheat, bubble gum, oak and a good amount of malt. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong alcohol flavours with a good pit fruit taste coupled with wheat and a touch of hops too. Aftertaste shows a potent taste, but the alcohol leaves the palate warm and dry - the sugars come through at the very end rather nicely. Overall, a good barley wine and definitely a treat to sample. I sampled this 37.5 cL (split) bottle purchased at Half Time in Poughkeepsie, New York on 11-June-2009 sampled in Washington on 17-October-2009.

Vintage 2008. Muddy orange pour with a fizzy off white head. Fruit and alcohol aroma. Sweet & malty flavor up front. Finish is dry and fruity. A nice spicyness lingers after the finish
