Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice, relatively thick tan head, about three centimetres tall. Aroma of pitted fruit, caramel, raisins, figs, plums, grain and a quite big alcohol scent as well as some yeast throughout. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong yeast and bready flavour with a big dose of caramelised sugar, grain, alcohol, pitted fruits, roast, light coffee, a touch of chocolate, some lactose and a deeper raisin and fig finish that shows nice and some pleasant complexity throughout. Aftertaste is a touch thin, probably due to the age, with some rich sugars, a lot of yeast and complexities from the belgian yeast strain, but also some deeper earthier notes from the malt and sugars. Overall, a nice and robust Quadruple with a good sweet bite that hits like a Chimay Blue but also shows some light spices, earth from malt and grain like a Westmalle Dubbel, both of which are pleasant references. Good to try, especially after these years and the biggest of Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles, which is why I'm drinking this beer now. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Washington (Foggy Bottom, Eye Street, N.W.), D.C. on 15-July-2015 for US$4,99 sampled at home in Washington after the Philadelphia Eagles won Super BowlLII (pronounced Bowl-ee) on 04-February-2018 as this was the closest beer that I had to Philly.

I am not always crazy about Weyerbacher but this was a very good beer. Dark brown, sediment, and some red when held up to the light. Aroma has malt, yeast, and some anise. Clearly a Belgian style ale from the aroma. Flavor is sweet and surprisingly well carbonated for a beer with a few years of age. Sweet, fruit, more anise, good malt flavor but I am not getting any coriander. This is not as amazing as Cuvee van de Kaiser noel, but a great American attempt.

12floz bottle at home on 3rd August 2016; gift from a friend. Pours cloudy brown with pale tan foam. Caramel malts, a little roastiness join rich and intense plum fruits in aroma. Malts blend richly with plums and raisins in-mouth. A touch of rum. A pungent, earthy finish with touches of Christmas pudding and tart berries/peel along with vegetable savoury notes. The latter of these linger longest in the upper mouth, revealing the coriander. Full-bodied with a smooth, slightly clingy mouthfeel. A treat.

Bottle. Deep brown body with a foamy tan head. Aroma of dark fruits, raisin, fig, cherry. The flavor is heavily sweet and mildly bitter. It finishes moderately to heavily sweet and mildly bitter. Medium body, watery/slick texture, moderate carbonation. Way too sweet. Way to little Belgian yeast character. Taste of sweet fruit and alcohol.

Bottle from my cousin John B. Right on target Belgian strong ale, Dark brown with ruby tinge, no head. Big full aroma of raisins and fruitcake. Taste is also fruity (plums), medium slick body. Not feeling the booze right away, burn comes late and deep down. Happy Birthday, Weyerbacher!

Bottle. A- Licorice, subtle spices, cola, dark cherries, plums. A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, minimal beige head. T- Anise, cola, spices. P- Medium body, thin texture, medium high carbonation, light finish. O- Surprised with the amount of carbonation in here. Not as tuned as one would hope. Plenty of anise/licorice and a bit of cherry cola but otherwise a less than impressive beer. Can’t believe it’s 11% though.

Candi and fig nose. Clear rust, thick tan head. Fig, plum, anise, and dried leaves. Medium body, harsh, warm. Really neat beer. Don’t pair it with black pepper, you’ll miss a lot of the complexities.
