Aug 19, 2006 Barley Wine Style Weiss Beer Artist Series ‘05. Sweet and sour aroma. Reminded me of the aroma of that cheap rhine wine my aunt use to drink. Flavor was sweet and sourness was little overwhelming at first. Sourness mellowed out in the second glass from bottle to add some sticky texure to the body. Little grain flavor present in second glass. Orange body with white head. Dry sour palate.

Jul 31, 2006 Barley Wine Style Weiss Beer Artist Series ‘05. Nose of wheat, bananas, band-aids,
pears, and apples. Pours a clear amber at first, then on next pour the addition of yeast
floaties is abundant. The nice cascade becomes a very creamy off-white head that is
mostly lasting. Sweet Jesus! The flavor is HUGE. Some heavy acidity produces
moderate tartness. Initially feels like a lambic, only it actually tastes good. Very fruity
middle moves to a sour finish. The light creamy body is dry and soft. I’m really
impressed. This brew is sensational!

Jun 21, 2006 2002 vintage. Aged @ 58 deg. 4 years. Poured very foamy, and hazy. Took some time to settle. Aroma of banana, molasses, and pear. was cloudy in appearance with lots of carbonation. Started out sweet with molasses, bananna, and pear. the middle was filled with the same with some caramel coming thru. finished slightly sweet, with subtle vanilla and oak, with a small sour/tart astringencey. was quite chunky on the second pour, but gotta love the vitamin B!

Jun 11, 2006 From a 1pt. 9.6oz. green magnum bottle with the year 2005 on the front label, part of the Two Brothers artist series.
Made a decent appearance, poured a hazy reddish and golden hued amber with a fizzy head that settled into fine lacing, good carbonation.
Had a nose of pears, melons, grape vinous, vanilla and a sweet wheat maltiness.
A very smooth full bodied mouth feel, wine-like, above average drinkability.
Pears, apple cider, melons, a subtle banana, vanilla oakiness, a buried caramel maltiness and a dryish banana fruity and malty finish. The alcohol presence is always in the background, well masked.
A well made wheat wine, one that I’m sure will improve with age, one of Two Brothers better creations.

Jun 9, 2006 2005 bottle, from Julio’s. Ok nose, sweet, fruity, apricot, carmel or brown sugar, kind of a clove thing. Clean reddish orange color, Ok head that faded, Nice lacing though. 1st pour clean, 2cd pur had floaties. Sour bitter flavor. like aroma. weird mix. Thicker bodied, creamy mouthfeel, sweet bitter finish. Interesting, but didn’t like the blend, oh well

Jun 8, 2006 2005 edition. really cool label--silver tree outline with a black background. now to the brewski: light amber pour with a nice tan head. aroma of funkiness overwhelms. i determined that this is where the weiss style collides with the barleywine flavors. its a sour, but not necessarily good sour. A unique blend, but the flavors ( fruit, oak, vanilla, pepper) dont seem to mix too well. Lots of floaties.

Jun 8, 2006 2005 vintage, courtesy of Ohio Dad. The pour is coppery amber with frothy khaki head. Complex aromas of dark fruits, vinous malts, hops. The flavor starts out on the tart side, woth a lot of dark fruit and hop presence. As it warms, it stays tart, but the fruit makes more of an appearance, along with the lactobaccilic flavor and hoppy grapes.

May 20, 2006 Single blind tasting along side of Nashoba Valley’s Barleywine. I think this was a 2005 bottle. Sour, acetic, acidic aroma is predominant with some sweet honey notes present a little bit later. I also detect some dried fruits--like peaches with a small aroma of booze. Not overly spectacular. Mild to moderate hazy coper color with a decent off-white head and ok lacing. Very astringent, sour, acidic start. Almost tastes infected. A bit of sweet malts come through in the very end. This is a very sour brew--too sour for being a Barley/Wheat Wine in my opinion. If you happen to like sour beers, then you probably won’t be overly offended by this. I personally prefer my barley/wheat wines to taste like them and not taste like flemish sours, etc.
