Transfer Tape, our first expression of a Wheat Wine, is the finished beer that came from a barrel starting life aging tawny port and then used to finish rye whiskey. All of that complex spirit flavor was transferred to our Wheat Wine during an 11 month aging period.

16 ounce can into a tulip snifter. Canned 1/3/20 maybe, had 6/2/20.
Pours a medium amber, mostly clear, with a one inch foamy head and light foamy lacing. Aromas of grapes, port- more as it warms, light rye whiskey, malt, caramel, some oak, light wheat. Flavors of caramel, malt, some port and rye whiskey, grapes, some wheat and tobacco, light oak. Smooth, a very good medium body, well carbonated.
This is pretty good. The tawny port definitely adds a lot to the aroma and flavor, more than the rye whiskey history of the barrel- which also contributes. If the base was a little more intense in the flavor, this would be excellent. Still, a solid effort and very enjoyable.

10 oz draft pour into a snifter shows a topless dark red, almost purple, clear body that leaves the glass as clean as it started.
Aromas of rye whiskey and port fold seamlessly into the taste led by a smooth, full mouthfeel and only the slightest hint of booze warmth.
Overall, I need more wheatwine.
