Weyerbacher Quad

12oz from Carytown Wine and Beer, Richmond (RIP). A glowing russet pour, nearly still with only faint carbonation. Hugely boozy smell, with sweet caramel notes in there. The taste is immediately scorching, slick mouthfeel, aggressive as hell. Some spice in there, almost a bit of ginger perhaps. Sweet malts come through the further you get into the beer, but this doesn’t have the depth and complexity you need from this style.

12oz bottle from jungle jims back in the spring. dark amber color. the head quickly disappears. aroma is strong almost fruity scent. the first taste was very strong and a warm burning sensation on the tongue that just lingered for awhile. i enjoyed that. i suppose if it was just a little cooler than room temp it would be very good but i like it this way.

12 oz. bottle from Wine Specialist. Ripe apricot flesh color with a minimal head. Dark aroma suggesting Koningshoeven quad. Near full bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor is Westvleteren but harsh and heated. Finish is sweet, dark and suggestive of Westvleteren 12. If they could smooth this out a bit, it would be a world beater. Just a fantastic ale.

Orange and amber body with foamy white head. Dark fruits, yeasty and bread flavor. Not bad for an American quad, but lacks what other abts/quads have.

A dark red/brown beer with a small off-white head. Smells of belgian fruitiness and alcohol. Definitely a full-bodied beer with alcohol and fruity flavor with a syruppy texture. This is not for the light-hearted, a very potent and heavy beer.
