Dec 18, 2007 Draft at Blind Tiger. Pretty drunk by this time, but I remember this beer still caught my attention. Lots of dark fruit, sugary malt, pretty much like any good barleywine. Could have been hopped a little more, but otherwise no complaint.

Nov 24, 2007 this beer was a total surprise -
no head in the glass - orange color - very aromatic and alcoholic smelling
no alcohol in the taste - fruity tasting - an absolutely wonderful beer - like a barleywine only smoother and more refreshing.
refreshing is a good term and part of the surprise considering the gravity of this beer.
this is a wow beer for me

Nov 24, 2007 22 ounce shared by Mike
Pours sort of a peach nectar color with soft yellow, orange, and red hues. Khaki to tan colored head.
Light apricot aromas with berries and citrus.
Citrusy sweet up front, and bitter as hell in the end.
Fuller body. Medium carbonation. Lightly sweet and alcoholic finish.
Really a good beer. Thanks, Mike.

Nov 24, 2007 Yet another bottle provided by ClarkVV and shared with Tom and Brian: Hazy amber hue with a small bu lasting foam, spotty lace and oily legs. The aroma has notes of apricot, apple, pear and berry fruit esters. Also notes biscuity and wheat vapours, sea salt, herbal and slight resiny hops too.
WOW, a powerful palate of fruity acidity and syrupy sweetness with added depth provided by peppery hops and bitterness. I think the wheat adds to this beer which is something lost in a few other Wheat Wines I had (read Two Brothers). The mouth feel is lush but still aggressive due to the alcohol and spice notes, meets the flavor profile very well.
This is a very well done brew IMO, I like how the bitterness and fruit plays against the sweetness, OutFrickinStanding! Get ya some!!

Nov 23, 2007 From bottle shop in Portsmouth, NH--Poured a deep amber-copper with a small yet healthy looking off-white head. Sweet, bready nose. Hoppy and thick with malts and fermented wheat. Thick, full mouth feel. Sticky and sweet. Spicy and gripping. Strong flavored with estute hops and grains. Warming and uber complex. Yum!
