Weyerbacher Prophecy

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

12oz bottle. Poured slightly hazy yellow with a medium head. Fair amount of lacing. Aroma is bread malts, bourbon, banana and vanilla; not necessarily in that order, but close.
I think the barrel-aging mellowed and balanced this beer (merry monks). You really lose the clove taste, and the flavor seems to come together. Much improved, in my opinion, through barrel-aging.

Bottle from Santa. Golden colored with a nice white head that lasts for quite a bit. Nice lacing. Aroma really reminds me more of chardonnay than a tripel or bourbon. Light fruits, apple, really kind of appealing. Medium bodied, perhaps a bit more boozey tasting than I would like, perhaps it is just stronger than it smells. A bit of lasting alcohol burn. Overall, pretty tasty. Not something I would drink daily, but one I would turn to a few times a year.

A clear gold color , no head. Honey sweet taste. A too sweet tripel for me. average at best.

beer is beer. It should taste like whiskey. I didn’t like the warming affect of this beer. It was good ice cold but as it sat the hardness and nasty bitterness came thro. A trippel abbey is good when it’s a belgium style. This beer didn’t age well for my taste

12/4/06: Bottle.
sour grape aroma with added spice and hops. somewhat cloudy. body is light yellow orange with little head. flavor is quite malty with citrus and coconut (imagination??) finish is dry quite and even tropical.

My $6.75 22 oz bottle poured a light hazy yellow with a monster, bright-white head. It has a medicinal aroma, tinted with a bit of potpouri spiciness. Obviously at 9%, this carries a heavy alcohol-laced basis, which to me comes across with almost the earthiness of an Irish whiskey, completely out of sorts with the light color of the beer. Must be the oak agin? Interesting.

This was not bad but a little too alcoholic for me. Poured a medium yellow/orange cloudy color with a thin head. Not bad but a little strong for me.

22 oz bomber Hazy pale golden beer. Aroma is very Belgian but more in the sweet honeyed malt profile than anything else. Loads of bubble gum, candi sugar and fried banana. There is also some apple and pear lingering around in the back as well. The bourbon only becomes noticeable as the temperature come up giving a soft sweet oaky aroma with vanilla, honey, light caramel and some clovey, spicy notes as well. Flavour is quite well-balanced. Toasty caramel and vanilla from the bourbon mixes nicely with the spicy, fruity triple base. I like this much better than the beer that it started out as, so that’s got to be a good thing. As the temperature keeps getting higher the beer becomes a little bit boozy. This has a very narrow range of temperatures at which it is really good, but when it’s in that range it’s pretty tasty.
