Collaboration with 3 Floyds Brewing Company
A delightful buckwheat wine-style ale brewed by Three Floyds and Mikkeller at De Proefbrouwerij in Belgium. Enjoy the fourth collaboration between our two breweries!

Thought I reviewed this. I remember how I had this in my cellar for years, and then it wasn't until drinking time that I found out it was a buckwheat/wheatwine.
Anyways, pours an amber color with more malt/viscosity in the appearance. 1/3" off white almost beige head. Has a mildly sweet caramel nose but otherwise the wheat/buckwheat is indistinguishable from how a 100% all barley barleywine would smell.
Taste and mouth feel are where this beer shines. Unlike the nose, there is a discernable relative levity of the buckwheat (much like that PCO or whatever beer from Firestone. . . shit I think I'm thinking of that ROH guy) makes it a pretty crushable 10%'er. Its got a malty smoothness without the barley heft. Relatively lesser hopped, but appropriately so. There is the slightest dark fruit touch to it of any beer I've ever had, man if quads could do this more often. Pretty good at covering a good amount of alcohol up. Pleasantly surprised with this one.

Solid example of a wheatwine. The FFF hoppiness offsets the typical sweetness of the wheatwine. 2011 bottle opened 2016 and held it's own.
