| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 6, 2008 Aroma was nice. A little metallic. Almost like wet pennies. Pours a clear orange color with a nice short lasting head.
Flavor is nice. Has a lot going on. Sweet malt flavors at the forefront, but that metallic taste is still there. Good alcohol burn. Nice beer. My first thought was of the Schloss Eggenberg Urbock 23° which is also one of my favorites. KimJohansen (7132), Copenhagen V, Denmark
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 6, 2008 Dark amber with tiny head. Sweet aroma with caramel, alcohol and fruity notes. Sweet fruity flavor with caramel and malty notes. Dominant alcohol note. Ends sweet. Maria (6309), Thisted, Denmark
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Apr 6, 2008 The Fonefan/Brugmansia Cnudde tasting. Steve/Coldbrewky, thanks for sending me this one! Red-golden with a nice, creamy head. The aroma has notes of malt, alcohol, yeast and raisin. The flavour has notes of malt, raisin, apple, citrus, yeast and the finish has a light grapefruit bitterness. Normally I like Weyerbacher - but not this one. It’s often how I feel when US brewer experiment with the Belgian style - and vice versa for that matter... Beerman6686 (1292), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 5/5 | 7/20 | Apr 3, 2008 Pours a pretty clear orange with hardly any head. Aroma if candy sugar and ALCOHOL. Taste is almost unbarably strong alcohol. Fortunately, weyerbacher has many other better products to offer. Zinister (1207), Houston, Texas, USA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 29, 2008 I wish this hadn’t been one of the first Weyerbachers I’ve reviewed, because I love this brewery, but this is not one of their better efforts. Deep burgundy pour with a weak head. Intense brown sugar aromas, followed by lots of harsh, sweet/tart brown sugar notes in the flavor. I like it when alcohol makes its presense known, but this is not the gentle wafting sensation i want from alcohol, it’s an assault. (And I’m a fan of beers with even higher ABV’s.) There’s some crabapple, berry, and a little caramel in the background, but if these were just brought forward to mitigate the harshness, this would be a better beer. I’m bringing three other Weyerbachers (all previously tried, and loved) back to the Midwest with me, and I’m sure I’ll give them better reviews.
