Draft at Jerry’s. Amber with big, foamy, off-white head / Mild nose of wheat, spun sugar, and alcohol / Medium body, sweet, hoppy with big bitter, and somewhat hot, finish / Somewhat thin, bitter, lightly floral flavors of honey, grain, and dry hops / Mediocre, and not at all in character for a barley wine.

(He aroma is spicy, cereal grain, caramel, light booze. Smells like a wheat wine. The appearance is gold/orange, white head. The flavor is like the aroma. The finish is spicy, Medium in body, slightly thick, oly mouthfeel. Good.

Bottle shared by alexsadad06. Poured yellow orange color with an average white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate to heavy wheat and alcohol aroma. Moderate to heavy smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy sweet flavor to medium to heavy sweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met with a complex beer.

750mL bottle, sent from tstockstrom (thanks Chuck) and coryking (thanks Cory). Pours a hazy amber with a small white head. Aroma of wheat, candied sugar, some white chocolate, toasted nuts and boozy liqueur. Flavour is light on the tongue but very alcoholic, with lots of booze, some candied sugar, paint thinner and feint licorice. Extremely boozy and paint thinner-like, with high carbonation. Way off the mark here.

Pours a dark hazy gold with a thin off white head. Aroma of canned fruit. Sweet malt, buttered biscuit taste along with an assertive hoppiness. Alcohol well hidden.

Slight booze, sweet wheat, some caramel. nice but underwhelming. Hazy amber. White head, good lacing. Good velvety wheat, sweetness with hop balance. Great stuff.

Pours dark amber with a quarter inch of head. Malty sweet in taste, some light dark fruit notes, with a slight bitter aftertaste

Sampled at GABF with Andrew and Moreau. Pours a deep amber body with creamy tan lacing. Aroma is wheat, barley, caramel and booze. Mouthfeel is medium with notes of wheat, malt, barley, bread, booze, caramel and light hop. Slightly boozy, but not 10%.

Sampled at an esbls tasting. Nice golden. Very sweet all around. Soft fruit and rich malts. Hs are gentle. This is nice and the whole is bigger than the parts.

Bottle shared at Brad’s home in Minneapolis, MN. Pours an amber brown color with white head. Alcohol, sweet, raisin aroma. Alcohol, wheat, malty. Not my favorite style of beer.
