Feb 11, 2005 Bottled 2003 Vintage; Tasted February 9, 2005: Lots of foam poured out of the bottle after opening. Kind of interesting to watch a bottle of beer continuously foam out the top into the bathtub... Poured a murky orange color with a towering head. Very spicy aroma with some odd sourness to it. Woah. More sour in the taste. It reminded me of a lighter sour wheat version of a gueuze. The spice turns into a raw pepper assult. A small barley finish? Tasty, but a strange barley wine.

Feb 11, 2005 750 ml corked and caged bottle pours a cloudy glowing orange with a small off-white that leaves some lacing in my glass. Fruity and spicy aromas of bananas, cloves and vanilla. Wheat flavor with pear, vanilla and bubblegum. Full bodied with a full and thick mouthfeel, soft carbonation, finishes sweet and mildly sour, alcohol well hidden, very nice.

Jan 30, 2005 2004: Barely a barley wine with 57% wheat, but delicious none the less. It certainly tastes wheaty with loads of bananna and clove yeastiness. The malt is dry and smooth and clean. The flavor is rich yet mellow and easy. Bananna esters dominate and a hop bitterness seals the deal. Pours cloudy and light brown. Overall, very nice and very unique. Reminds me of Franziskaner dunkle-weiss.

Jan 29, 2005 Strange brew this one certainly was. Lots of pepper, very yeasty, a bit fruity. But mostly just an odd beer.

Jan 18, 2005 750 ml bottle (2003), The Great Montreal Barley Wine Blowout with asheft, beerbuzzmontreal, MartinT, tiggmtl, Rastacouere and Yowie, #3. Light, cloudy apricot...very fruity and much more wheaty/estery than the earlier batches, without any real hop sharpness in the nose...body sour, citrusy (orange-lemon), light and almost crisp...juicy, long sour finish. Not a patch on the ’00, but interesting and different, and worth having in its own right.

Jan 17, 2005 Yellowy brown-orange with a sudsy head that quickly dissipates. Some yeast balls at the bottom of the glass. Aroma rife with woody cherry, some spicy caramel malt, and pine hops. The flavour is bitter right up front closely followed by a sourness that comes from the wheat malt, and then some buttery flavour. At the very end there’s a little hops bitterness punch. Explosive carbonation and medium body. I got some woody astringency from this one. Still, very pleasant.
