The Bruery White Oak
Early summer, this barrel aged wheat wine is coming out very nicely (12% ABV)
White Oak is a blended beer-- 50% wheatwine aged in Bourbon barrels (we call it "White Oak Sap"), and 50% Mischief (our Golden Strong Ale). Vivid caramel, coconut and vanilla flavors blanketed in a crisp yet robust wheat ale, White Oak is an exercise of balance.
2012 vintage - 11.5% abv

Bottle. Cloudy, caramel colored, with a short off-white head. Aroma of bourbon barrel, caramel, toffee, coconut and vanilla. Tastes sweet, woody and boozy and lightly bitter. Thick smooth and full bodied.
Piana obfita, niezbyt jednak trwała, barwa jasno bursztynowa, opalizująca. W aromacie sporo świeżego kokosa, brzoskwinie, gruszki, miód, a w tle wanilia... Smak dość słodki, ale nie ulepkowaty, zdecydowanie bardziej wanilinowy niż w zapachu, są rodzynki, morele, białe winogrona, sporo miodu i bourbona. Jest też niewielka kwaskowość, budząca skojarzenia z tanim, półsłodkim białym winem. Niska, ziołowa goryczka, niskie do średniego wysycenie. W odbiorze półpełne, likierowe, nieco mdłe.
Ładny, beczkowo estrowy, ale znacznie mniej intensywny niż w Mash zapach, fajna słodycz i wanilina w smaku - to zdecydowanie na plus (są nawet delikatne skojarzenia z cudownym T.H.R.E.E od Struise). Na minus niezbyt przyjemne, miodowe utlenienie i nutki taniego, białego wina.

Bottle. Aroma of oak, vanilla, caramel, toffee, light booze, cereal. Orange with white head. Taste is moderate sweet, light bitter and light booze. Full body, oily sticky feel and sweet Oak finish.
Hazy , amber color. Big , off-white head. Caramel, vanilla , wheat malt , raisins and coconut in aroma. Rich taste with moderate sweetness and notes of bourbon, fruits , wine and caramel in taste. Warming alcohol in aftertaste.
Sample from a 750ml bottle marked as 12.5% at True Bearing Alehouse, Xiamen. Pours hazy orange with a thin white head. Aroma of bourbon and fudge with some fruit, white wine and bread. Sweet finish. Ok but not really my thing with the dominating bourbon.

Butelka. Mocny, intensywny aromat burbonu, owocow, wanilii. Dlugie posmaki w postaci wanilli, bourbonu. Alkohol delikatnie odczuwalny w aftertaste.
Bottle from Hopt.nl, shared with Benzai and skortila, 25 cl sample. Slight hazy golden color, short frothy head. Aroma is spicy and grainy, slight sweet caramel and maple syrup and has a bit of autumn leaves or oak wood notes. Quite sweet of maple syrup and vanilla, slight spicy yeast, perfumy alcohol. Nice.
Aroma is light grape sweetness, lavinder, golden delicious apples,pears, and plum . Taste is sweet malts, caramel, apricot, plum, and sweet bourbon whisky notes. A light oakiness rounds it out the palette very nicely. Appearance is a hazy gold with a frothy pearl head that retains quite well. Top notch stuff.

Tap at Bruery, Placentia. Colour is cloudy light orange with small white head. Aromas and flavors: Dryness, wheat, some sweetness, some Belgian yeast, vanilla and malts. Pretty nice.
@ Budapest . Pours Amber color with thin off-white head and lacing. Green apple, toffee, caramel and white raisin notes. Sweet creme brûlée followed by raisins. Bourbon and warming alcohol in the finish.
Nice looking light amber. The aroma has wine, malt, caramel, bread. The flavor has the same, very nicely together. The finish is long lasting and warming.
Tasting @Pułapka Gdańsk
Aroma of dates, raisins, wood, vanilla, sweet malty caramel. Sweet and fruity taste. Oily and full. Alcohol nicely hidden
The beer pours deep orange with light haze and an off white head. The aromas has thick caramel, vanilla, oak, sweetness and mildly toasted malt. It has a medium full body with light carbonation. The taste is very sweet and much more candy like than the aroma. It is fairly alcoholic and abrasive. There is also some medicinal and metallic aspects. Not what I expected here at all. Wanted more richness as apposed to sweetness and make malt than metallic. So it goes.
Bottle at hopahplic. Thx zozo. Deep hay yellow colour small white head. Nose is vanilla, oak. Taste is sweet, light bitterness. Strong vanilla oak. Like a barique white wine. A Lingering vanilla aftertase. Amazing.

Słodka melasa, slodowosc, beczka, slodycz, lekkie drewno, trochę kojarzy się z flandersami, fajne.

Dry white wine. Tart Cherries. Tropical fruit. Pours a murky mango orange with a thick foamy bright white head. Lots of suds left on the glass. Dry white wine. Fair amount of esters. Tart fruit. Velvety mouthfeel.
Should be listed as a wheatwine.which is a wheaty barley wine. 2016 vintage, from Bottle King.
Aroma: Light pepper notes, slight alcohol, sugar (caramel,) light coconut, some vanilla, wheat. reminds me a bit of some whiskeys
Appearance: cloudy golden orange color with a tall head, white in color.
Taste: Caramel/coconut sweetness with some peppery undertone. Slight fruitiness as well. Slight heat from the alcohol.
Palate: A bit too alcoholic for the percentage. Wouldn’t call it this balanced.
Overall: Flavors are solid but I find the balance in terms of alcohol flavor/palate. I found the aroma to be slightly better than the taste also.
Clear golden, minimal white head. Sweet fruity grape, raisins. A bit of oak. Honey. No bitterness, very sweet, hint of funk. Medium body, slightly oily. Long finish. Reasonably hot alcohol. Pretty great. Rated when the Cubs won the World Series.
Aromat jest intensywny, słodki. Nuty zapachowe w głównej mierze tworzą tutaj suszone owoce: figi, daktyle, morele i odrobina karmelu.
W smaku piwo jest pełne, gęste i bardzo słodowe. Melasa miesza się z suszem owocowym, gdzieś tam w tle majaczy odrobina wędzonych owoców. Wpływ leżakowania w beczce jest bardzo wyraźny i doskonale uzupełnia profil piwa - nuty wanilii i kokosa są uwypuklone, i wyczuć je można w pierwszej linii z innymi składowymi smaku. Na finiszu doszukać się można subtelnego posmaku kojarzącego się z suszonym drewnem, a całość zamyka raczej alkoholowa goryczka. Alkohol choć wyczuwalny jest ułożony i nie drażni.
C’est simple et très bon.
Le bouquet : de la pomme confite, du caramel, de la vanille, du bourbon, quelques notes de fruits rouges, petit fond de chêne.
Bouche : très ronde de barley wine très doux, un caramel avec de belles notes de pommes/poires. Légèrement vanille et cannelle. Un fond bourbon tout en subtilité qui anobli et relève tout.
Aroma, vanilla, figs, fruity, oak,, honey, coco,
Taste: medium sweet, vanilla, honey, coco, toffe, alcohol, figs
