Spectacular oak-barrel aged 11.8% alcohol-doused quadrupel places creamy vanilla easement next to silken bourbon frontage and chocolate-y cherry Kirsch midst. Brown sugared molasses sap enriches rum-soaked raisin, plum and prune waver. Cherry-pureed cognac, brandy and whiskey licks smooth out soft banana-pear-honeydew fruiting.
WEYERBACHER BLANCHE BELGIAN-STYLE WIT
Straw-glazed turbidity saddles soft summery witbier. Ripe banana persistence, crisp citric-hopped succor, mellow coriander-clove spicing and black-peppered lemongrass pitch accumulate soured wheat subsidy. Banana-caked vanilla-butterscotch finish depleted by minor acidity.
WEYERBACHER BLACK HOLE ALE
Inviting mahogany-hued dark ale suffuses dry mocha-chocolate frontage with sugary caramel-toffee-molasses sweetness, hemming in burnt oak, iced coffee, and raisin-fig twinge. Casual espresso notes deepen nutty grain finish of viable porter-styled humdinger.
WEYERBACHER BELGIAN STYLE TRIPPEL
Precursor to Weyerbacher’s Merry Monks Ale. Ripe cherry-grape tang attracts nifty barleywine surge and a dash of herbal mint or clove spicing to creamy caramel center. Candi-sugared sweet ‘n sour honey malting enhances tertiary raisin-plum tartness, providing further full-bodied luster. An undeniably wonderful Belgian knockoff.
WEYERBACHER AUTUMN FEST ALE
Autumnal auburn amber acquaints earthen chestnut palate with caramel chocolate, sour cocoa, and lively citrus adjuncts. Syrupy maple sinew evaporates too quickly, allowing fizzy hops to inefficiently lighten its terse barley roast and leathery vegetal-glazed tobacco leaf dryness.
WESTMALLE TRAPPIST TRIPLE BIER
Pour slowly attractive gold-hazed fruit-scented alcohol-sharpened dark beer. Buttery mocha malts buttress tangy citrus frontage and ravishing French wine serenity cresting at hushed spice-hopped finish. Some creaminess ensues, but too timidly for ‘triple.’
WESTMALLE TRAPPIST DOUBLE BIER
Dry prune-hued medium body with sweet liqueur template settles to caramelized marzipan midst, then alcoholic brandy finish. Raisin, plum, and port notes gently speckle honeyed chocolate malts.
WESTMALLE TRAPPIST BIER
Elegant burgundy-sweetened pale-hazed Belgian brings floral-spiced hop persistence and carbolic intensity to swerved mineral graining. Its peculiar sesame wheat charm should appease exploratory greenhorns and connoisseurs alike.
WELTENBURGER KLOSTER URTYP HELL
Made at reputed oldest monastery brewery since 1050, this medium-bodied smoothie maintains polite peppery hop bitterness underscored by allspice, coriander, and thyme, but its sweet buttery malt finish fades abruptly.
WELTENBURGER KLOSTER HEFE-WEIZEN HELL
Pale golden, eggshell-headed, yeast-affected German wheat treat slips clove-coriander up-front, sidling summery lemon-grapefruit-plantain juicing to sourdough finish. Feisty hop bite envelops latent white-breaded surge of medium-bodied delight.
WELTENBURGER KLOSTER BAROCK-HELL
Casual fizz-hopped bitter underscores sourdough yeast with orange-peeled lemon rind tang, but scant caramel creaminess compromised by indecisive malt impact and dry cork must.
WELTENBURGER KLOSTER ASAM-BOCK
Claret-hued dark double bock (with cascading bubbles quickly rising to tan-headed surface) gains dry prune prominence as strong cereal-grained barleycorn influence beckons. Cocoa, coffee, and raisin notes scattered.
