A 750ml C&C bottle for $7 from Jersey into a Weyerbacher tulip, split with oglmcdgl. Wathching the season 8 opener of Curb.
Blasphemy into the tulip pours out a very pronounced brown shade with some light reds towards some light. Alot of sediment on the bottom of the bottle so watch out. A small cap of off white foam, no stick.
Smell is different for a quad. I like the American versions a bit more because the candi suga is not as big. A spice rack of spice with a underlining vanilla scent, not overly run over from bourbon, but there is some barrel character. Spice and vanilla, slight bourbon, that's about it.
Taste is very spiced up, a few of them and barrel character. oak over bourbon, vanilla gives off a faint sweetness melding nice like with the spice. Plums with a small grape hit and some alcohol on the back end, nothing to shake a stick at, it aint all that hot.
The heat is very laid back, it's there but not a deal breaker. It works well and remains in the aftertaste and would do me good in the dead of winter eating some christmas ham. Feel is a step up from medium and the carb is light and not bitey. Pretty smooth sailing with some kinks in the way.
All in all, Im glad Dan made this again, it gives me another tick and it shows what chops the brewers in Easton have. I don't think this spent a whole lot of time in the barrels, but enough to keep the bourbon from overpowering the base quad. I'd drank it again.

A slightly cloudy dark amber color with a fair off-white head and lacing. The aroma brings on whiskey and nut, berry and oak. Seems potent. The first mouthful is fizzy and full of the same flavors I detected in the aroma. As advertized this suggests oak barrels and Jack Daniels. Still, not quite what I expected. Highly carbonated and lots of warming alcohol, viscous and challenging to push through quickly, not a session brew for me. These flavors aren't my wheelhouse, somewhat clove in the Belgian tradition, conducive to food to help cut the sharp acidic attack of this aggressive ale. There is a nice vanilla caramel hint that comes out as it warms. A quality brew but not suited to the average consumer. Definitely worth a try to anyone that enjoys a strong ale, and possibly a big winner for some.

A 22oz bottle poured into a tulip glass. I was trying to compare this to Quad, and found this one a little more interesting. It had a dark amber color with a thin head. It had a sweet, fruity aroma, with a vinous character. An explosion of taste. Fruity, some chocolate, yeasty, and wine. I thought it was very smooth and mellow. However, I don't think I'd drink this and Quad together in one sitting again. Next time, Blasphemy alone.

I loved Weyerbacher's Quad. They went and threw some in oak barrels, and now we have Blasphemy. Very Russian River/Avery-sounding, no? (I'm betting Weyerbacher isn't bottling this in homage to the Canadian metal band. My dream is to professionally brew a triple IPA called Nuclear Death.)
The head may be thin, and it may dissolve to a crown quickly, but wow, that color and the sediment inside...there are tons of I-don't-know-whats hanging in suspension inside a bee-yoo-tiful rusted/burnt blood-orange body. I look at that and think "exotic".
Although there are certain spices, flowers and fruits hanging out in the aroma, they're dominated by wood, yeast and alcohol. Mostly wood and alcohol. In this area, the Quad smells better.
I'm basically okay with barrel-aged beers, but they're more novelty than anything. I know that sounds like (ahem) blasphemy to some BAs, but when the wood takes over the flavor, I end up wishing I was tasting the virgin version of the beer. Blasphemy teeters on the balance of too-much-wood and the pureness of the pre-barreled beer. Oakiness definitely puts a stamp on the flavor, but there's more to decipher if you give it time and warming. Seductive honey, gin-soaked blackberries, brown sugar, caramel, hotter dessert/pie spices, plenty of hops and a fair nip of alcohol weave through the woody element. It's a success because this doesn't merely taste like Quad-meets-Oak; it's a different beer entirely. Finish is a mellow melange of oak/booze, without tasting at all like whisky (another downfall of some barrel-aged beers, in my not so humble opinion).
Texture is slightly syrupy, round and moderately-carbonated, yet with a wonderful lightness at the same time. Almost perfect.
Of all the beer I bought on my last run to Vintage Cellar, this is the only one the guy at the counter opinionated on, and he endorsed it highly. I like it too. I prefer the more playful and colorful Quad over its barrel-aged cousin, but this is no slouch. Pick it up if you see it.

Hazy orange in the glass, with an off white head which quickly disappears. Huge apple aromas, along with some bourbon , mulling spices and a bit of oak. Vanilla, apple, bourbon, oak, brown sugar, maybe a hint of cinnamon and some nice, warming alcohol. Finishes somewhat dry, with a touch of bitterness. Not an everyday drinker, but delicious none the less.

Thanks to sholland119, one of the finest traders &/or members of BA, for two bottles of this fine brew. When I heard it was being discontinued, & being the only of the "regular" lineup I hadn't had, I needed to try it. Scott was my man on the spot & he never disappoints!
I liked the Weyerbacher Quad a lot, so I was looking forward to this and holy hell, is it good.
Screw the smell & appearance, this brew rocked my world with the very first sip, even fridge-cold, out of the pint glass. I know I shouldn't be sipping this like a glass of lemonade, should let it warm a bit, but I can't help it. All the full flavors of the original Quad are still here, lent a helping hand by the wood, which lends a marvelous dry, lean quality to the beer, & just the barest hint of bourbon that also serves to augment, rather than overpower, the rest of the brew. At 11.8%, I could easily & happily drink these until I woke up with a dog licking my face, my wallet gone, only one shoe, and one leg over the curb in a puddle. Does that warrant a good drinkability score?
This is the best Quad I've had, hands down, including one that's prominent in the Best of BA. Subtle, sweet, woody, bourbony, drinkable...damn. I need to get some more of these. Scott? You still out there?
This is one killer beer. Absolutely top-notch.

Poured into a snifter. Big thanks to SteveFinny for this. The bottle has 040811 printed on it, so I assume this is an '11 vintage.
3.0 A: Well hazed orange amber color. One and a half fingers of frothy off-white head. Retention is poor and no lacing is left.
3.5 S: Tons of plum with almost as much cherry. Figs and red grapes underneath that. Bourbon isn't too aggressive, which is a good thing. It adds a melon and earthiness foremost. The barrel is probably a bigger influence with a good bit of oak and a lesser amount of vanilla. Generic spiciness from the yeast. Smells good, but I think I prefer my quads unadultered with barrels.
3.5 T: Tastes like the nose, but the base beer comes off more genuine than in the nose. By this I mean more old school Belgian quad. Ironically, the bourbon has a greater influence in the taste. Plum, cherry, prune, grape, date, and fig fruitiness. It's still missing a direction in the yeasty spiciness department. It's there, but it's a generic, innocuous spiciness. Bourbon gives off melon and apple fruitiness and earthiness. Moderately boozy. Plenty of vanilla and oak.
3.5 M: Lighter medium to medium body. Good moderate carbonation. It's lightly spritzy, but could be more so. Still, not bad here.
3.5 D: This is a tasty beer, but it can't compare to the subtlety driven quads out of Belgium. While the bourbon makes this a fun change from the usual, it's not something I'd come back to again and again.

Weyerbacher- Blasphemy
Appearance- Dark reddish brown with a big thick foamy head.
Smell- Strong tropical fruit. Pinapple, coconut, banana. Light woodsy aroma. Wood chips.
Taste- Very mild with a strong alcohol bite in the end/ aftertaste. The body is comprised of a "malibu" type flavor- coconut, pinapple, cranberry, banana/ cloves. Slight oak wood chip flavor comes through at times.
Mouthfeel- very smooth and mild, almost bland. Finishes off boozey- strong with the alcohol. This is 11.8% but definitely doesn't seem so.
Overall- this might sound like Blasphemy but this beer was a letdown. Just bland and boring. I guess an aged bottle's flavor would kick it up a level or 2. Buy this and age it- thats my take!
sidenote- I "aged", if you can call it that, this beer for 1 whole month!!

750 ml bottle into tulip, 2011 bottle. Pours hazy brick red color with a dense 1 finger off white head with good retention that reduces to a thin lacing cap. Some decent lacing on the glass as well. Aromas of big bourbon, oak, vanilla, dark fruits, banana, and spices. Some very nice and complex aromas here, bourbon comes out full force at first, but balances out eventually. Taste of huge molasses, dark fruits, banana, bourbon, vanilla, and oak. Lingering notes of bourbon, oak, molasses, and dark fruits on the finish. Light-medium carbonation with very full body. Incredibly smooth and slick body with great drinkability for the alcohol content as well. Alcohol is very well hidden in this, practically none noticed in the taste and a very small warming on the finish. Overall, this is an incredible quad, so much flavor and great balance, I will have to pick this up again for some aging.

I can't find a vintage on the bottle.
Pours a clear deep orange/amber with a bubbly white head the dissipates, but never really goes away. Smell is sugary sweet with lots of dark fruits cherries and plums predominantly a bit of vanilla and rubbing alcohol. The alcohol stings the nose if I take a deep breath after swirling the glass a bit. Taste is sweet with cherries prunes and plums, some oaky vanilla and a whole lot of hot alcohol. Harsh alcohol burn! Mouthfeel is sticky, body is thick, carbonation is medium. I don't know how to feel about this one. It is hot as hell, there is no hiding of the alcohol here. I think its tasty but the burn is a bit to much to allow me to enjoy this one, maybe with some age?

Copped a 22oz bomber from Wine and Beverage Depot in Totowa... Really nice logo sticker with a monk covering his mouth with his hand... Blasphemy... According to the label, this beer is the result of aging Weyerbacher's Quad in Oak Barrels - the final product is an excessively sweet, slightly overbearing oak-aged taste with vanilla and strong caramel aftertones... pours a very nice dark-copper color with minimal head and impressive carbonation... Smell is replete with a malty, sweet, sugar-laden aroma... taste is ultra-flavorul, very rich and thick with a strong syrup taste pouring through...Strong alcoholic presence is noticeable in the tongue and nose, but is not entirely dominating, although the ABV is certainly up there at 11.8% ABV... as with many Weyerbacher brews, this one wasn't bad, but was slightly over-the-top, powerful, and should be sipped slowly... Overall, a flavorful, interesting brew... Worth a try...

Bottle. Tremendous tasting beer. Chewy dark fruit flavors, with hints of vanilla and a lovely sweetness overall. The oak component is nearly undetectable. It provides an extremely light toasted wood flavor, hints of vanilla, but no bourbon. In fact, I wouldnt think this was oak aged if they didnt mention it. Unfortunately, its not the most aromatic brew, but its still great. Weyerbacher is a really great brewery, imho.

Bottle courtesy of seanpachefddfa, thanks again!
Pours a cloudy gold / orange color with a slight white head.
Aromas are of sour apples, honey, cider, and some other ripe fruits like pears.
Taste is strong with big alcohol warmth. Lots of fruit flavors, dark ripe fruits, mostly apples, and a crisp, slightly sour, dry, and biting finish.
Mouthfeel is thick, and very full. I like beers that are this big, and feel this full.
Drinkability is pretty good. This beer needs a little more depth to the flavors, it comes off a little too strong, with pretty noticeable alcohol. But it does have a nice mouthfeel, and good aromas. All in all... it's a pretty solid quad.

Thanks to csmiley for the bottle! About damn time, huh???
Blasphemy pours a very hazy copper color. It has a reddish-orange tint with backlighting. An off-white head collects on the surface, but rises no further. It dissipates quickly from there. Lacing was definitely on the light side.
The nose is a little on the weak side. It kicks off with a strong, sweet caramel scent. No doubt about the base here. Oak is very strong in the mix. There's a hint of some whiskey, but I have no idea what kind. Secondary notes of vanilla, dark fruit, and a light golden fruit presence. Alcohol is relatively strong in the mix, but this is approaching 12% abv...what'd you expect? It's not bad, but more strength and clarity would help.
The flavor is easily a notch above the nose. It definitely has a strong caramel malt base. It is sweet, and even features a slight brown sugar flavor. The oak barrel aging certainly imparted a very nice wood-like flavor, and it adds quite a bit of character. Whiskey is in the mix, but it's tough to tell whether it's bourbon or not. Secondary flavors of vanilla, fig, raisin, apple, and pear all add nice depth and complement the other flavors well. Alcohol is definitely in the mix. It's integrated pretty well over time. This bottle's two or three years old. Nonetheless, it is bordering on warm. Finishes sweet, fruity, and oaky.
Blasphemy has a body that's on the lighter side of medium. It feels a little thin for the style. Carbonation is active and a little buzzy. It's not bad, but it could use a little work.
I wouldn't go so far as to say that an oak-aged Quad is blasphemy. This beer proves it. It's not a bad release from Weyerbacher, but a couple of tweaks would go a long way. Personally, I think it'd benefit from more aromatics, more body, and less alcohol. I also wouldn't mind a little Belgian yeast. Having said that, it's definitely an interesting beer that's aged pretty well over the last two or three years. Thanks, Chris.

750ml cork and caged bottle. Reddish amber color with one finger of head that did not hang around for very long. The head settles to a thin cap. Moderate amount of lacing is left on the glass.
Intriging aroma. Dark fruit, brown sugar, vanilla, and alcohol. Smells a little like brandy.
The taste is brandy like as well. Surprised this was aged in bourbon barrels. I pick up a lot of caramel, raisins, and vanilla. The alcohol is very hot and that hurts the score for me. Almost seems the ABV is in the teens. Sweetness is kept in check.
The alcohol affects the mouthfeel as well. The alcohol evaporates off the tongue. Enough carbonation to let me know I am drinking a beer.
A lot of nice things going on but just too boozy to be thoroughly enjoyed.

Poured a deep amber with a decent head that diminished rather slowly to nothing. The aroma was of dark malts, dried fruits and some subdued hops. The taste was extremely complex. Dried fruit dancing nicely with a subtle oak flavor. The beer was heavy but not overbearing, excellent alcohol warmth. This was a unique enjoyable beer.

A-deep brownish amber color with some hues of red, very hazy. thin barely one finger of kahki colored head that dissipates quickly
S-the nose is quite nice and brings the oak and bourbon through right off the bat. there is some sweet dark fruit, dark tart cherry and a hit of the alcohol at the back
T-this beer keeps getting better as i move through the review. no taste is overpowering and it starts with a nice blend of the oak and a light taste of bourbon, there is a sweet malt backbone that has some caramel followed by some sweet cherry flavor and even a hint of citrus, the belgian yeast, clove and touch of banana also become present
M-very full bodied almost chewy with a smooth texture, almost syrupy that leaves a warming from the alcohol as you finish the sip
D-this has a great flavor and is very smooth, it is extremely thick and the alcohol is prevalent. great beer, very strong!

This poured a hazy burnt auburn with a bit of white head. It smelled like prunes and molasses with wild yeast and honey wheat malt, and a bit of citrus hops. It tasted like honey wheat and barley malt, with strong orange hops, and a hint of oakey prunes and molasses. It was fairly thick with lots of carbonation, and had a bitter aftertaste with alcohol warming. Overall this had a clean, bold flavor that was surprisingly bright. It had noticeable alcohol and a lasting aftertaste, which made more of a sipping beer, although still quite enjoyable. It didn't have as much oak in the flavor as I expected. I'd like to try this one again after it's been aged a few years.

Pours a murky copper/cloudy golden color with a two finger white head. The head dissipated pretty rapidly, which is expected because of the ABV.
Aromas of white grape and possibly honey. The oakiness is there but not overpowering at all. Smells a little musky as well.
The taste starts off with some sugary/white white flavors but then the alcohol shows up a little. Finishes with an oakiness and a little more honey sweetness. I really enjoy this beer because each of the above flavors play an equal role and don't fight with one another.
Beer starts out thick and solid and still finishes fairly dry because of the oak aging. Definitely a sipper, though.
This is a good, after-dinner, sitting-around-the-fireplace sort of beer. Solid overall!

We were told in the tasting room at the brewery that the barrels used to oak age this beer were from Jack Daniels. Poured from a 12oz. brown bottle purchased fresh from the brewery. Poured into a snifter glass. Appears a dark mahogany toned amber with about a finger of fluffy off-white head. Smells of whiskey soaked oak, sweet caramel, and vanilla. Tastes of whiskey soaked cherries, vanilla, candy, crisp fruit and alcohol. Rich and full bodied with nice carbonation. A very warming beer that is certainly a sipper. Well done Weyerbacher.

Split a bottle of this beer with Stopper last nite. The beer is cellar temp and probably 6 months old. I am pouring into a snifter.
The beer is clear amber color with ruby highlights. Fizzy off white head fades to an edge layer quickly. Aroma is boozy, with mild bourbon and wood, some general fruitiness, and a lot of cherry scents. First sip reveals a slightly syrupy texture with fine rolling gentle carbonation. Flavor is complex with mostly sweet malt notes mixing nicely. I get caramel and bourbon with dark fruit, again I think cherries are in the flavor too. Not as boozy on flavor as nose advertised. Fairly easy to drink and nicely done.

Ruby amber on the pour with orange streaks abound. Head is between off white and tan with a whispy carbonation. Thin, thin lace left behind in a spotty manner.
Very nice nose with a good amount of toasty oak which lends toward vanilla. Full of nutty aromas, dried smyrna figs, red currant, bing cherry, a spicy bite with some alcohol behind.
Mmmmm quite delicious but with slightly too much alcohol in the mouth and chest. Again oak is very toasty and vanilla-fied. Tastes of new american variety. And again fig and nutty flavors at the forefront with the same red currant, and bing cherry. Nice and spicey with a light carbonation that makes this a bit creamy and lively on the palate. I really like the mouthfeel and nothing is overpowering which really helps drinkability. Definitely a sipper but a sipper you can sip for a day. In other words nicely integrated with modest complexity.

Bomber into a chalice...
Pours a copper-ish amber hue, translucent with no visible carbonation (a testament to the high ABV). A light tan head, thick at first, vanishes quickly to a patch of bubbles.
The acidic oaken notes hit the nose immediately, followed by a big, pungent alcohol aroma, vanilla, cranberry, and shoe polish.
Whoa! This is a big beer. Astringent alcohol flavor pair with (again) acid-rich oak, sour apple & cherry. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied, dry, and bitter all the way. It's a bit like swallowing nail polish, wood stainer, or some other dangerous substance. It's quite difficult to put this one away, which is strange, because I've not had trouble with other high ABV beers (Dark Lord, Bell's Batch 7000, Rochefort 10). This one just has too much acidity and bite behind it's oaken "bark". It would be interesting to see how this brew matures, as it might mellow out some of the more pungent aromatics and flavors.

This beer pours a dark brown color with a tall head that doesn't have great retention, but leaves a little lacing on the glass. The aroma has a lot of alcohol as well as a lot of fruit and some spices. The flavors are very complex and alcoholic. Lots of alcohol and lots of sweet dark fruit combine with some oak and finishes with a nice hop bitterness. The body is medium and the drinkability is pretty good for the apparent alcohols. Tasty.

This beer pours a hazy reddish orange color with a one finger head that lasts several minutes. Mild lacing on the glass throughout. Nose is very spicey, slightly yeasty with some sweetness. Alcohol is definitely detected in the nose. Taste is very sweet - very fruity, some slight notes of chocolate in the taste, and a bit of yeast. The alcohol is definitely present in the taste as well. Combo of the alcohol and sweetness makes this one a sipper for me - the more it warms, the easier it goes down. Definitely a more heavier bodied beer. Overall, a decent beer - not my particular style - and if you're going with this one, it's a sipper!
