Oct 18, 2006 Okay, this isn’t barely wine..
It’s an ale, there’s nothing barley-winey about it, except for maybe the 8%.
Gorgeous color . FULL aroma. A bit strong for most beer drinkers. It tastes like a young brew not ready to bottle sometimes...
Best with some food. Potatoes, meat, meh

Oct 17, 2006 This was a rather interesting beer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very cloudy butterscotch color with a small tan head that faded quickly. The aroma was sweet and wheaty with elements of orange and vague spices. The flavor was sweet orange, spice, caramel and brown sugar. There was a spice profile vaguely reminiscent of pumpkin pie. Tasty.

Oct 17, 2006 Updated: Nov 5, 2006My first barley wine. Medicine aroma. Looks like yuengling original lager. Slightly less than average carbonation. Surprizingly bitter but not like an IPA or stout. For something called ’wheat’ I was expecting something like wheat beer. However, the ’love’ part must be the addition of the bitter finish, unlike good wheat beers. If it said ’barley wine’ on the label, I would have bypassed it because I know barley wines may be bitter. Will not buy again.

Sep 28, 2006 Bottle at Dickinsonbeer’s. Hazy golden color with a small white head. Aroma of banana, bubblegum, citrus and light cloves. Flavor was lightly sweet malt, more citrus than the aroma, some banana and clove.

Sep 27, 2006 12 oz bottle courtesy of OhioDad... many thanks. Clear, rich golden colour with a thin white head. Light honeyish aroma, some light citrus, faint clove. Fairly clean despite all the sweet malts. Some orange and lemon citrus notes, wheaty spice and a fairly earthy/herbal hop flavour over everything. Sweet banana/peach fruitiness. Nice beer.

Sep 25, 2006 Bottle... Murky, peach-colored ale with a small, tight, off-white head. Red apple, apricot, toffee nose. Sweet, fruity flavor with toffee and a dash of salt. Medium-bodied with gentle carbonation. Sweet, toffee finish. A big THANKS to headbanger for sending the bottle my way!

Sep 12, 2006 Bottle, with ClarkVV and Sully. Very sweet aroma and mouthfeel. Lots of estery fruit (banana), sugar and clove in the aroma. Mouthfeel is strong and sweet, lots of estery fruit again and the slightly sopay sweet clovey spiceyness. Yes, probably a touch too sweet for me, but quite nice none-the-less. Quite a unique strong wheat beer.
