Weyerbacher Decadence

Formerly brewed at Weyerbacher Brewing Co.
Style: American Strong Ale
Easton, Pennsylvania USA

Pours a very dark orange with minimal head. Cardamom is all over this aroma and flavor. Lots of pepper, and spices (nutmeg and allspice). Good for a winter warmer, but not that great for springtime.

I can’t believe I found a bottle of this stuff just last week. It was sitting at the bottom of my local six pack shop’s cooler untouched for three years. The lady sold it to me for only $2 because it was so old. I only felt a little guilty when I was sharing it with my buddies last night..

poured a deep reddish brown with a little bit of tan head on top. the smells was very much like blackstrap molasses, spicy and sweet, mixed with alcohol. The flavor was much the same. Complex and warming. Alcohol was readily apparent. a slow sipper but very nice.

(USA) This liquid refreshment is courtesy of AFI96, Thanks Waylo!!! This Ale has a Hazy brown color with a sm-tan head. The aroma i get from this is of apple cider / and spices !!! But the real kick is the strong rum / alcohol taste. At 13 % this brew will put most of our so called beer drinkers to rest............... lol

Pours a slightly cloudy yellow with some lacing. Aroma is very spicy & seasonally appropriate (sampled at Christmas beer-tasting party) sweet with strong notes of alcohol. Tastes of aniseed, pepper, hops, alcohol, nice and spicy! Good carbonation, slightly thin body. I really dig the spices in this beer, it has good balance to it, and a lovely warm finish. Thanks to Oakes for the taste!

2005 Vintage

3/11/2008: Weyerbacher Decadence (1995-2005) has an attractive golden honey orange color. It is slightly hazy and has a moderate level of visible carbonation. The initial head is small, ivory in color, and quickly fades away. The aroma is quite pronounced and is loaded with sweet malts, honey, spice (cinnamon and nutmeg), sweet orange peel, dark ripe fruit (dates, figs, etc.), caramel, and a just a tinge of alcohol in back. The flavor is mostly sweet and malty like an English barleywine with a subtle amount of additional flavors toward the finish including hints of citrus peel, spice (nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger). The alcohol is noticeable, but actually quite subdued for the whopping 13% that is reportedly contained in this beer. The alcohol is warming and balanced with the other flavors and overall barleywine characteristic of this beer. This beer has a medium-full body that is very smooth, yet slightly syrupy on the palate and a bit sticky on the lips. All in all this is an impressive spiced beer that exhibits wonderful balance and combination of flavors. It greatly surpasses my expectations and makes me wish I had more of it for another day! Wow, this is a big beer that could probably hold up for a decade or more in the bottle!

dark orange body with a bunch of yeast floating in it. The aroma is very interesting If has kind of an orange aroma with a bit of spice but the malt also comes through. The flavor is quite interesting as well, with quite a bit of malt with kind of a syrupy feel. There is also quite a bit of spice and
