Weyerbacher Prophecy

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

While I admire trying each of W’s brews aged in oak, so far only one felt right to me (heresy). I have a saying for brews like this. Just because you can, doesnt mean you should. Honestly did not match well with the oak barrel aging, did not mellow the beer, actually brought out stronger alcohol presence.

Bottle: Courtesy of hopdog via trade. Fruity and yeasty aroma. Pours a cloudy orangish-yellow with a small white head. Flavor starts out with some fruit but is mixed with some sourness and tartness. Moderate banana and light apple. Yeasty finish. I don’t detect any woodiness.

Highly enjoyed this beer. Aroma has some nice hints of oak to go along with what you would normally expect from Merry Monks. There is much the same in the flavor as oaks pervades throughout with a nice smooth bourbon underneath the sweet beer. Finish had a little alcohol burn to it with some bitter notes. Very tasty brew.

Pours out a cloudy golden color with a sweet warming aroma and a decent amount of foam. The taste is definitely smoother than Merry Monk’s and has some nice vanilla notes to compliment the beer’s natural flavor of fruit and alcohol. The finish is nice with buttery and creamy notes, a good beer, but I like Insanity and Heresey much better

Hazy golden liquid wiht a moderate amount of white foam. Nose is of sweet malt. some esters and maybe some fruit tones. Taste is a at first sweet but complex flavor that resolves into almost a nutty creaminess towards the end. Texture is full but not heavy. Aftertaste is nice mellowing of the middle and end flavors.

Out of a bottle, aroma very perfumey and woody. Poured a clear off yellow and had a thin white head. Taste was of vanilla,butter,oak barrel and alcohol. Palate was light and finish was dry. Overall good, not my favorite Weyerbacher but as far as a hometown brewery here another solid brew.

Dusty gold body, dusty white head. Strong flowers and perfume aroma. Taste is old grains with a strong perfume and butter taste. Nice different style from Weyerbacher.

Golden orange yellow, film of white head. Vanilla, alcohol, and woody aromatics. Citrus, tart candy, vanilla, and lots of alcohol. Finish is sweet and sour with a high alcohol heat. Mouthfeel is rather thin with high alcohol presence.
