2022 vintage @8.5%. (Packaged Aug ‘22). 473 ml can. Pours amber with moderate head. Aromas of earthy Belgian yeast, including bananas and cloves, a bit of rubber, and soft wheaty malts. Flavors are cleaner and crisper; banana, corriander, cloves, lemon and wheaty malts. Nice

473mL can, pours jet black with a medium brown head. Aroma is rich, with lots of oak barrels, followed by gentle maple syrup (thankfully) and a hint of vanilla. Flavour is extremely rich, with lots of rich roasted malt, maple syrup, deep oak, and burnt sugars. Nothing subtle about this -- very big, rich, deep flavours finishing on plenty of oak. Very tasty, if a bit over the top.

500ml @ Matt's new place. Appearance: hazy copper with a tan head. Aroma: sweet wheat, some barrel (not particularly bourbon, though), moderately sweet. Taste: along the same lines. Overall: ok, not a huge fun of the wheat wines.
