Wipers Times 16 is a spicy, remarkably fresh beer brewed with elderflower and elderberry and subtly finished with some spices (7,2% ABV). "Neither sweet nor sour; dry, with some fruit tannins, floral notes and secret spices opening as it warms."

The name of the beer is derived from the British newspaper that was printed in the Ypres casemates during World War I. It celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.

The 16 in the name refers to the density of the beer (16° Plato). After Grotten Santé and Wipers Times 14, this is the third beer of Brouwerij Kazematten.

Bab 2016. Thnx to Tderoeck and 77ships for sharing the beers ! Pours unclear redbrown, small white head. Smell is malty, bit yeast. Taste is sharp, doughy-yeasts. Not very balanced. OK, bit too sweet, esp on the finish.

12 February 2017. 6/3/4/3/9=2.5. At Bruges Beer Fest 2017.
Pours hazy red-orange with a thin off-white head. The aroma contains red fruits, elderberry and sugar. It tastes light sweet, light bitter and light sour - indeed, not strong in any taste. Fizzy carbonation, creamy texture. Not that exciting.

3 April 2018. 75cl bottle - thanks to dad for sharing! I was enthusiastic about a rerate because I felt that this beer with subtle flavours got a bit lost in midst of all the others at Bruges Beer Fest 2017. Pours hazy red/amber with a big, foamy, off-white head, some lacing and floaties. Subtle aroma of sugar, elderberry, blueberry, strawberry, yeast & bread, something perfumey (elderflower). It tastes medium fruity sweet, light berry-like sour and light spicy/herbal bitter; bit tart & herbal in the finish. Medium body, creamy texture, fizzy carbonation. Still very delicate but way better than I remembered. it's somewhat cute.

Thank you for sharing tderock + kraddel! Sampled @ Bruges Beer Festival 2017. Dark red brown, tanned head. Nose is overly sweet diabetes herbal fruit syrup, extremely & overly sweet, some butter. Taste s far too sweet red fruit, far too sweet diabetes red fruit sugar syrup. Body is cloying syrup. Elder flower & elder berry here are painfully sweet, not sure as to why? Didn’t like it.

5/II/17 - sample @ Brugs Bierfestival - BB: n/a (2017-146) Thanks to 77ships, kraddel and Rubin77 for sharing today's beers!

Cloudy amber to reddish brown beer, creamy beige head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: lots and lots of diacetyl, very buttery, sweet, overripe banana. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet, overripe fruits, sugary, lots and lots of liquorish, aniseed, beh. Aftertaste: overripe fruits, banana, "weeïg" (sorry, there's not decent English word for this). Don't like it, too sweet plus diacetyl. Can't give this half of the points.
