I obtained a growler of this beer in Dallas Texas at Whole Foods - The first FFF beer I have purchased locally in Texas (how it ended up here, I aint got a clue!)

A - Attractive amber deep orange hue through which flows a light continuous stream of small bubbles leaving a light lacing.

S - Intensely sweet and hoppy aroma with strong caramel and alcohol - unmistakable barley wine quality with a nice crisp grainy character.

T - Sweet caramel and buttered citrus on bitter bready backbone, nicely hoppy but a bit sweet

M - Succulent, clingy with ample cut from well-executed cabonation

O - This beer is a good choice for lovers of American style barley wines.

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.
