Weyerbacher Quad

Brewed by Weyerbacher Brewing Co.
Style: Abt/Quadrupel
Easton, Pennsylvania USA

Serve in Trappist glass

Bottle. This quad kicked off with a slow pour, big aroma of a malty, dough, Belgian through and through. The appearance was a weak point with less head than expected, a foggy burnt orange consistency, and zero lacing. The taste permeated the nasal passage as soon as it entered my mouth, malty alcohol with a sweet roundness that filled out a solid Belgian. A medium bodied palate, sticky texture, low carb, and long finishing beer. Overall, I thoroughly was impressed with this Quad, and I was even prouder to have it hail from Pennsylvania.

Poured reddish/brown with a white, bubbly head. Aroma is floral with hints of candied fruit. Taste is very fruity. Apricot and pear are apparent. Citrus fruits are more subtle. Sweet middle, but dry finish. Unique and well-conceived.

Good stuff. Dark amber, very hazy beer with a frothy, off-white head. Aromas of sweet dough, and leather. Tastes of strong earthy notes, molasses, dough, and some woody notes. Extremely smooth, and easy to drink. Sweet finish with a hint of leather. Very tasty.

The aroma is unique with fruit, bread and dough. Great Belgium taste but kinda bitter, especially the aftertaste.

12oz bottle, ABV listed as 11.8%. Mostly clear red color, minimal white head. Nice, light carbonation, a bit of acidity. Dark fruit (grape), yeasty, and spice aroma. Some alcohol, but less than you’d expect from an 11.8% brew. A really nice, sweet light-spiced taste. The character is wine-like, but with the awesomeness of a beer: a pleasant texture, complexity, and spice. Something savory to it, too. Very tasty. A fantastic one to sip on slowly, definitely improves as it sits.

It’s good. But I expected it to be great. Glad I got it at my local Wegman’s and didn’t drive to the brewery. Malty as a Belgian should be. Descent aroma. The color is spot on as a brown. But more thin in appearance than it ought to be. Less head than a Belgian should have. Taste is complex, sweet, malty, lightly sour. Pleasant on the palate but again, the thinness leaves something to be desired here. Overall, drinkable and tasty. For the money, I would buy a St Bernardus.

On the Eleventh Day of Christmas 2011 the beer gods gave to me... a damn tasty quad. Pours an amber brown color with white foam head. Aroma of caramel, candi sugar, and booze. Sweet candi sugar taste with caramel notes and booze. Clean and crisp. Very excellent attempt at the style.
