Weyerbacher Quad

Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 2 | Flavor: 3 | Overall: 4

This is my first quad style. 12 oz brown bottle, cost was $2.50 from the Beer Store in Moon. No head when you pour this into your clear mug. No apparent carbonation from the pour. The brew seems to be a little thick as it’s coming out of the bottle. The look of this beer is clear reddish brown. The smell is a little rotten when you first pop the cap but that fades into an aroma that warns you about the onslaught of alcohol, scary. The smell goes pleasantly sweet after a few moments of settling. The first taste impact of this brew is somewhat less offensive than I predicted, it is relatively smooth for such a high alky content. The alkynes is present but not as overwhelming as I was anticipating. Fruity high alcohol linger. The feel of this beer is smooth and silky. It is slick with no carbonation, goes down way too easy. Hey, wait, I think I feel some carbonation and there is some bubbles rising within the glass after a big swig. Overall I thought this would be more offensive than it was. I have tasted many other trippels and dubbels that were much less refined than this. Not bad for an exceptionally high percent alky brew. Be careful, you can get a DUI after one and a half of these.

Bottles courtesy of kiefdog. Pours deep gold with copper core and almost no head. The aroma is abusive with a truck load of figs, prunes, raisins, brown sugar and a bit of heat. The taste is much the same with big bold prune, raisin and plum notes that escort the flavor to midway. As the finish draws nearer an alcohol chemical sensations surfaces to mar the experience some. Brown sugar sugary sweetness rounds things out some with the aid of a warming sensation. The after taste is teaming with lingering notes of figs, prunes and raisins.

Bottle: Poured a reddish orange amber with no head, but lots of carbonation bubbles. Aroma is fruits and faint malts. Taste is winey dark fruit, sweet malts, and mouth warming. Alcohol is hidden well.

Pours a beautiful clear rosy mahogany with a fairly thick and fine-bubbled light tan head. Aroma has a strong caramel note with brandy and clove tones backing it up. Bold flavor charges caramel, nutty, fruity (apple, grape, a little cherry), cloves, and subtle roast malt notes across the palate, a veritable stampede of flavor. Texture is firm and smooth, yet has some good fizz to it, leaving a caramel and brandy finish. This beer is one to sip and savor - and experience.

Pours out a cloudy ice tea color with a nice tan foam head. The aroma is of candy and banana or some kind of fruit. The mouthfeel is very rich and thick. The taste is of malt up front paired with of fruit and the worlds best ingredients.

Dug this 12% brew. Not overly alcoholic. Deep aroma of brown sugar, dark fruit and hints at spice. Similar flavor with a dry yeasty finish. Nice brew.

A dark amber colored beer with a big frothy textured, white head rising above. There's some hang time on this one. Settles into a medium ringlet and a light dusting of film. Dark-Fruity in the profile with phenol presence. Light medium bodied

The aroma is sweet and fruity as well as floral with hints of peppery spice. The appearance is slightly hazy and a rich burgundy to bronze-orange in color with a rocky relatively thin, off-white head that does not discipate. The mouthfeel is a bit thin and light, however, complex in character and well-balanced. The flavor is sweet with slight yeast and a bit hoppy with spice overtones and very full and very flavorable. Overall, not a bad quadrupel and is pretty good and is easy to drink with a nice finish; I am a tad surprised with this one but I do like Weyerbacher.

I sampled this one on draft at Redlight. Pours a nice reddish-amber color with an off-white head. A little head retention and spotty lacing. Lots of dark fruits with this one, a lot of plums and raisins and a spicy alcoholic tang to it with a dash of brown sugar. A pretty nice sipper.

A nice big Belgian to sip on during the last evening of 2008. Pours a river water brown color with some red and copper highlights. Frothy, light tan head and a generous handful of spotty lacing. Phenomenal aroma of fruity, musty yeast with plums, clove and vanilla. Like sniffing a flowery bouquet of goodness. Rich, filling body that is sweet and lightly syrupy. A slow smooth whiskey type feeling on the throat. Figs, raisins and caramel corn flavors are wrapped around an underlying earthiness. Very sweet with a deep subtle burn. The overall taste fell a bit short to the awe inspiring aroma. I sense this single is well aged and blended, but I have no idea of it's age. Real nice, comforting sipper.
