Strong and sweet. Vanilla and dark fruit nose. Oaky thick roasty syrup flavors. Yum!

Bottle poured into snifter. Appealing ruby red-brown color, substantial creamy eggshell colored head. Good aroma with notes of dark fruits, slight spice, hints of bourbon and oak. Expected a little more power behind it though. Taste is on point though. Dark cherry, fig, yeast, and belgian spice sit nicely atop a sturdy foundation of bourbon and vanilla. Very good although a bit on the sweet side for sure. Sticky and smooth on the palate. Could benefit from a little more dryness.

Dark amber/cider color with light particles; Medium creamy body; Aroma of sweet malt, vanilla, toffee, & dark fruit; Flavor of sweet malt, yeast, dark fruit (notably plums & dates), caramel/toffee, and raisons; Warm smooth finish; Nicely balanced; Overall, quite sweet - but decent overall.

750 c&c from France 44. Pours dark copper with no head. Aromas of dark fruit supported with oak notes. Full bodied. Flavor is sweetish dark fruit, bitterness, oak, bourbon, and I really think butterscotch. Or not. There’s a lot going on - except there’s no real heat impact - even in the gullet. It’s far from sticky, and the oak/bourbon certainly keep the malt at bay. Very very nice ale.

Sweet, syrupy quad. Strong honey finish. Mellowed out after 1.5 years of aging. Going to add more of this to my cellar.

Deep brown pour, off white head. Lots of dark dried fruits, dates, figs, prunes, bourbon, vanilla, oak, and I think I detect a bit of something tart...hmmm.

UPDATED: MAR 5, 2013 2013.03.03 - Weyerbacher Blashpemy - 750ml bottle in goblet glass. Bottle not marked but it's about a year old to me. Aroma: a bit of wood, dark fruit, candy sugar. Appearance: Pours around 28-30 on SRM scale. Nice color in the ballpark of some barley wines. Nit much head/carbonation, a little activity at pour goes quickly to just a white small bubble ring. Taste: Starts off candy sugar and fruit, in the vein of Gouden Carolus Classic or similar, very quickly is followed by oaky vanilla booziness and some alcohol warmth. Quad is quite good but can be sweet, this seems to balance it out pretty well. Palate/Mouthfeel: medium heavy, low carbonation. Aroma 6/10, Appearance 4/5, Taste 8/10, Palate 4/5, Overall 18/20

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy, murky maroon with a small off-white head. Aroma of bourbon barrels upfront, dark fruits, caramel malts, Belgian yeast and candied sugar. Flavour of rich bourbon upfront, dark fruits, alcohol and candied sugar. Very complex, with very prominent bourbon barrels. Takes out the sweetness from the base beer, replacing it with bourbon. Quite boozy, but not too much so. Excellent stuff.

Dark amber/brown pour with a white head. Some vanilla, oak and boozy aroma with a nice malty flavor and the bourbon goodness included. This is tasty.

Big Bottle. Poured a cloudy brown color with smaller head. Aroma of belgium candy, brown sugar, oak barrel. Medium light sweetness. Warming alcohol. Creamier texture. Very nice oak barrel flavors and bourbon.
