Takes Two Wheat Wine - Belgian Strong
Specifics
General Information
Method: Partial Mash

Per our friends at Beer Advocate - "A somewhat recent and over-looked American strong ale, the Wheatwine (or Wheat Wine) is akin to a Barleywine in strength, but contains a large portion of wheat malt; upwards of 50%. The wheat provides a soft and fluffy mouthfeel. Color and bitterness varies."

If entered into a BJCP sanctioned competition it would have to be declared as an American Barleywine base style but with a significant wheat malt base. 

Made the same base but put Belgian Abbey II (Wyeast Labs #1762) into one carboy and put Belgian Strong Ale (Wyeast Labs #1388) into the other.  Bottled in 22 oz bomber bottles so it only takes two and you're well on your way.

The original 10 gallon base recipe can be found here.
