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".

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.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Sweet caramel, alcohol latent banana, citrus, and plum. A dry bittering hoppy finish. okay.

Pours a murky brown with a beige head. Aroma is of wheat, caramel, vanilla, bananas, and malt. Taste was very earthy, with wheat, hops, some lemon zest, sugar, and bananas, all with a caramel malt backbone. Strong alcohol presence makes this one bitter to the taste. Not something Id drink again, but worth a try.

Pours a deep bronze color. Thick head which dissipates quickly. Very wheaty aroma. Like a Belgian ale. Flavor is interesting. Vanilla on caramel. Little bitterness, almost unnoticeable. Smooth and lingering palate. This is better than I expected.

20080329 Blind tasting notes and score from Cornboy 2nd annual Barleywine Extravaganza. Thin bodied, earthy, sharp, like a super hot ESB with butterscotch and some green beans. Gross. In retrospect, it is a shame this one had the dubious distinction of being served after BAON and FFF Behemoth. Too bad. Based on recent ratings, maybe they changed the recipe for the latest batches.

Bottle pours a clear copper color with a smallish head that fades quickly. The aroma is wheat, Belgian Ale, yeasty, and slightly woody. The flavor is all caramel, vanilla, some hints of banana clove soaked in booze, and some hops to choke off the cloy. The palate is nice, rich, smooth, and refreshing for a Barley Wine. This is great.

Amber color with no head. Aroma of caramel and some vanilla. Flavor of caramel, butter, and vanilla. Very soft for a barley wine.
