Commercial Description:
A Wheatwine Style Ale.

In early 14th Century England, Sir William of Wykeham began a tradition to assist wayfarers on holy pilgrimages. Travelers would go to the Hospital of St. Cross in Winchester for a free ration, or "dole", of bread and ale. This became known as the "Pilgrim's Dole".

Aroma of red fruit jam,some graininess, and a blast furnaceof evaporating alcohol. Taste was malt dominated with caramels ,wheat tartness, and again lots of alchol successfuly dominating, It was a nice brew to sip at their outdoor cafe,and people watch

bottle from SAMs wine. I wasn’t expectingmuch but this is a great beer. If I didn’t know better, I’d think it was bourbon ba. Huge caramel, bourbon and vanilla notes. Very good.

This is an outstanding beer.Bottle from Three Son’s in Wexford, from an open Tulip Glass (Hommel). Not much head or carbonation, beautiful ruby amber color. Sweet and fragrent, with Grapes, Pinneapple and Mango, but finishes clean. Strong enough so a great use of Wheat and a nice bitter finish.

Clear dull red with a big head. Sticky resinous hop and caramel aroma with toasted bread and citrus. Sweet and candy like in flavor, hoppy with caramel malt. A bit thin in body. Low bitterness. Not exactly a wheat beer by any definition I know of but not too bad.

Dark tea color with no head or even a ring of foam. Biting hops that jump from the glass and alcohol are the first impression. Flavor is also sugar and malt, butter and fruit. This is not a beer for the meek. It grabs the tongue and does some wonderful things to it. This beer is wonderfully complex and a delight to sample. It loses a bit on appearance and feel but other than that this one kicks ass!

Shared at Cornboys Barley Wine Blind. Pours a clear thin watery brown with no head. Aroma was bad...real bad, my notes are telling me it smelled like syrup, alcohol and......urine, ugh. Luckily the flavor didn’t have any urine notes to it. The problem though was the flavor didn’t have much of anything to it, just watery and bland. Yeah I sure didn’t like this one.

Strong alcohol and red wine notes in the aroma. Pours a clear reddish-amber, with a quickly fading off-white head. Strong alcohol notes and flavor on this one. It’s a bit hot. Full mouthfeel, but definitely a sipper. May want to pick some of these up to see if the settle down over time.
