Weyerbacher Prophecy

Brewed by Weyerbacher Brewing Co.
Style: Abbey Tripel
Easton, Pennsylvania USA

Yeah, rubber cement, vanilla, bourbon, tart apple nose. White mostly dissipating head sits atop a clear golden yellow body. Sweet, cookie malts, dough, butterscotch, banana, bourbon. Light to medium, faintly syrupy body. Well, this will definately get you drunk. Its a nice combination that works, but isnt quite balanced. The nose of paint thinner and rubber cement is a turn off. Perhaps after some time in the cellar.

from bottle, poured a golden yellow with small white head. carbonation was good. Flavor had a kick to it that all decent belgians have. I tasted a sweet fruit and woodsy taste, that much be from the oak barrels. It was easy to drink, and when it warmed that only brought out more complex woodsy and fruity flavors.

RE-RATED: Due to having more of the style.

Bottle. Wow, I expected this to be more of hoppy ale than a Belgian, since I didn’t read the description here. Nose is nice and yeasty. Sour aroma (again, the good sour) and a cloudy light color with no head at all. The first thing that I notice in the flavor is a nice bite along with that great sourness and tartness that a decent Belgian has. This is a good tasting beer with some cool spiciness and almost a cookie dough quality to it. Maybe that comes from the barrel aging, but it is good. The palate is great! Silky smooth and slippery as it crosses the tongue and glides across the palate. Nice and oily feeling. Finish is dry, but it balances so well with that slight sweetness, that it is not a turn off for me as most dry beers are. This is good stuff. Another quality beer from Weyerbacher.

Bomber bottle. Clear amber color with moderate white head that diminished quickly. Moderate sweet aroma. Medium body. Moderate wood and sweet fruit flavor with moderate alcohol bite finish.

I have drank it many times; hard to believe I have not yet rated. And being a merry monks fan...welll aged in boubon barrels a big plus!!! Small white head, sweet aroma vanilla and fresh almond

12 oz. bottle: Pours a hazy golden/light orange with a lively white head, mostly lasting. Aromas of alcohol, various fruits (very fruity), some light spice tickle. Flavor was sweet mixed with bourbon alcohol, woody (must be the oak barrell) with some light fruit as well.

bottle-thanks to whaleman for bringing this one from back east. pours golden yellow with a small sudsy white head. this head was not present very long. vanilla cream, lightly buttery, cotton candy aromas dominate with light funk actually in there as well, which suprised me. pretty estery as well. medium body with a decent carbonation level that distriutes the flavors here. like the heresy, the bourbon notes here can be mistaken for diacytl, which isn’t a good thing if you ask me.

Golden color with a thin off white head. The nose combined alcohol, spice and wood. Obvious bourbon barrel treatment with flavors of vanilla, wood and the corriander spices of the tripel. Noticable alcohol. It seems a little thin. I need to try the Merry Monks’ again.
