| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 7, 2009 12 oz bottle-Cloudy golden pour w/a slight white head. Sweet wheat aroma. Ramped up Whit, flavors of wheat, candied sugar, raisens, white grapes, banana, dried fruit, & colander. Very sweet & pretty hot, so this one is a definite sipper, but it was quite good. Long, full finish. I really think it is a crime to call these Wheat Wines Barleywines; they are really just totally different to me. I feel they need their own category as I’d like to be able to more closely track them.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Dec 18, 2009 Poured with the consistency of apricot nectar. Extreamly thick and syrupy. Almost no head and minimal carbonation. Nice strong and sweet aroma with lots of caramel malts, light roasted grains, sweet tarts and some dark fruit. Color is dark orange. Very sweet and oh so smooth. This goes down incredible easy and you could really get yourself into trouble. Silky smooth and just glides down your throat with minimal effort. Noticable alcohol presence that warms from within. A little bit apricot in the flavor along with some more caramal and candy sugar. Man, I want to sip this brew but I keep finding myself taking big gulps. Finishes warm and velvety smooth. Wow, I am really enjoying this brew. As far as i am concerned this brew is at its peak right now and should not be laid down. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Dec 14, 2009 Pours mahogany with very little froth. Smells like a fruitcake to me, wife says apricot cobbler. Full nectar with creamy effers. Sweet and medicinal with shades of baked bread, raisins, dates, plumbs, banana, kiwi. A sense of acid tries to balance but the sweetness overcomes. TheBeerGod (3166), Newport News, Virginia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 11, 2009 Bottle. Slightly hazed copper with a short, slightly off-white, head. Aroma is perfumey and resinous with flowers and citrus peels atop candied fruit, honey, and sweet malt. Taste is very sweet malts, candied fruit, wheat/grains, alcohol, light citrus and melon, and honey. Body is thick, syrupy and sticky with light carbonation. Strong alcohol warmth as well. Not abusively hot, though. Ends with more honey, sweet malts, candied fruit, fermented fruit, and grains. Not too bad but messy in spots. blipp (1685), Newark, New Jersey, USA
