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.

Bottled. An unclear dark golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of sweet malt, peaches, wheat, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fruit - peaches, spices, and wheat, leading to a dry wheaty and alcoholic finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of TheCheeseMan. Clear, deep golden with a small off-white head. Tart fruity nose. Medium body, tart citrusy notes and some overripe fruit. Tart finish with no real bitterness. Weird, but in an interesting way. 130909

I had a 2001 bottle once and don’t recall caring that much for it. I bought a 2008 half-size bottle (half of 750ml?) thinking it must be better. But really, I just don’t understand this beer. The cork didn’t pop though there was a bit of life in the body (not totally flat). Golden color, no head. Wheat and some fruit but not massive and neither particularly tart nor rich. It just doesn’t ring out with anything and is only moderately enjoyable on its own terms. Maybe it’s just a weiss...but it’s not that nice. (rhyme intended)

Wheat, orange, lemon, some tart on the nose. Golden pour, thin head, light lace, some sediment. Wheat, orange, green apple, tart, honey, light vanilla. Somewhat tart and not what I thought would be going on with this style. Large carb. Lingering dryness.

750ml 2007 bottle corked and caged from ughsmash. Nose is tart, apple, cherry...not really like any wheat wine I have smelt before. Tart, thin, chardonnay characteristics...just not to style imho. Honestly, I was thinking it was ’bugged’ but as riversideak pointed out the ratings are similar. Thanks Jason for the chance to try this one.
