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".

Poured a fairly bubbly light amber color. Not really much head came about. Smelled strong with a good bit of alcohol and some caramel and leather. Tasted much the same: strong caramel and alcohol flavors. Some other residual sweetness as well, like brown sugar or some type of hard candy. Overall, it was quite dry with no real hop presence. Gave off a sticky texture. Overall, quite good and fairly strong.

Pours clear, red-brown, with a fine, light head. Aroma is caramel and toffee. Mouth feel is rather thick. Flavor is sweet with a caramel, toffee, hint of chocolate, and alcohol bend.

Bottle, 10%. Good fruity aroma, dried fruit, apricot. Cloudy dark orange colour. Small, soft, creamy head. The flavour is nicely fruity, creamy, quite bitter and with some alcohol. The mouthfeel is almost slimy, but OK.

This bottle is aged at least 2 years... Appears an amber toned orange with a small, beige head that slowly fades into a mild cap. Spotty lacing is left around the glass. Smell is of vanilla, caramel, cocoa, roasted nuts, & mild spices. Taste is of the mentioned aromas with caramel, vanilla, and chewy malts digging in for some sugary flavors. Mouthfeel is sugary, syrupy, with just a touch of the 10% coming through. Seems to age well.

This was a great treat, especially for the winter time. Strong caramel winey nose and flavor. A little detectable alcohol. Nice balanced palate. Strong all the way around.

Poured a hazy golden amber color with a small, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of banana, light clove, orange, caramel malts, toffee, and light spice. Taste of dark fruits, caramel malts, banana, some nut, and a bit of alcohol.
