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".

Pours a clear copperish color with a thin light tan head. Sweet, caramel aroma with some brown sugar. Hint of oak. Sweet taste. Brown sugar, caramel, berries. The alcohol is masked a bit. Some raisins’ mixed in as well. Decent barley wine.

Bottle from Oakes and Beershine. I thought this was a wheat wine? Caramel/apricot color with a fair sized head. Aroma is very sweet with caramel, honey, and bread. Flavor is pretty sweet with a bit of alcohol on the tongue. Flavors of caramel, yeast, honey and some woodsy notes. Nice brew.

22 ounce bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear strawberry color with a medium head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma is nuts, plum and berries. Taste is caramel, nuts, berries and anise. Slightly cheesy. Full bodied.

Pours an orange color with a tiny white head. Smells sort of toasty with lots of caramel. Very sweet and very boozy. Some butterscotch and honey under all that alcohol. Some banana as it warms. I suggest splitting this 22oz bottle as it is rather tough to finish.

This is not a Barley wine, it is a WHEAT wine. Very interesting! Poured a caramel color with a dark lacy head. The aroma was very sweet. The taste of sweet malt was abundant. Once it warmed some the mouthfeel was full, soft and velvety. Along with the malt you notice an oaked characteristic that makes a very nice addition! Bottle from Brusin’ Ales shared with Steve, Brian, Toma and the always opnionated Drbayern.

Another New Holland let down. Hit and miss with this brewery. Sweet, but very thin for a barley wine. Lacks strong aroma.

22oz Bottle.A clear amber/orange color pour with a medium off white head,some spotty lacing. Maltyt aroma,sweet bread dough,vanilla,rasins,apples,and pepper.Flavor of brown sugar,cask wood,butter,peaches,honey and alcohol.Full body,thick creamy mouthfeel,soft carbonation,sharp alcohol finish. I think the whaet exposes the flavor and aroma of the alcohol,but in a good way. Drinkable and good,but slightly overpriced for me and what it is.

22oz bottle (Binny’s Naperville)-Pours a nice ruby red with a nice small tight beige head. Aroma of sweetness, caramel, yeast, fruits, and raisinns. Taste of the same with the alcohol being very prominent in the taste along with a little bit of oak. This full bodied brew is not bad but a bit too hot turns me off a bit.
