No known malt! Yikes!
If you want a truly grape flavored beer, I'd add some grape juice, wine, or melted grape jolly ranchers candy to the secondary fermentor.

I just tasted Christmas Ale 2011 (Anchor) it smells like sweet grape juice (part of aroma profile), that's why i'm asking.

I don't see why you can't just use grapes like you would in any other fruit flavored beer.

Golden Naked oats has a berry like flavor attribute in some of it's reviews.

Anchor uses 1272, which has a bit of a fruity character. I would also look into Glacier hops, they always remind me of grapes.

If I am remembering correctly, DFH uses grape (red or white I can't recall) when brewing Midas Touch.

you are right), and DHF Chateau Jianu uses muscat grape juice, but idea is to get grape juice aroma without grape taste.)
Nelson Sauvin hops are advertised as producing Sauvingon Blanc notes. I have used them and can confirm that they are capable of this. 2-3 oz in a five gallon batch will definitely produce flavor contributions reminiscent of a white wine.

Aroma/Flavor: I think this is the most unusual descriptions I have seen for a hop variety. Nelson Sauvin hops impart a grape-like flavor to beers, defined as a cool climate white wine grape flavors. Other descriptors include extreme fruitiness, Passionfruit, and “Fresh Crushed Gooseberries”.
There's a thread in the recipe section somewhere about a Midas Touch clone. I even saw some sites online about that micro-archeologist that Sam worked with to come up with a recipe for the beer residues in pots found in king Midas's tomb. It used White Muscat grape juice as well. I came up with a recipe for it after all that reading that I have yet to brew. It'll cost me some money,but it'll get done eventually.
So search the recipe forum for ideas along that line.

Looks like those are the only links I have left still working. Guess you'll have to search some more.
