Wipers Times 16 is a spicy, remarkably fresh beer brewed with elderflower and elderberry and subtly finished with some spices (7,2% ABV). "Neither sweet nor sour; dry, with some fruit tannins, floral notes and secret spices opening as it warms."
The name of the beer is derived from the British newspaper that was printed in the Ypres casemates during World War I. It celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.
The 16 in the name refers to the density of the beer (16° Plato). After Grotten Santé and Wipers Times 14, this is the third beer of Brouwerij Kazematten.

Belgian Blonde
The nose is full of dank fruits and thistle. Spiced and tangy. Clean, effervescent and smooth finish. Maybe slightly malt flabb. Love the spice adjuncts, like, maybe spelt and or, golden wheat, especially Thistle! Very authentic and unique. Belgian style

750 ml bottle into signature chalice, bottled in 10/2016. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy reddish orange/copper color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lasts. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big lightly tart elderberry, strawberry, peach, plum, lemon, orange, cherry, pear, red apple, melon, herbal, floral, grass, and toasted bread; with light notes of caramel, nuttiness, coriander, cardamom, anise, fennel, peppercorn, clove, funk, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/light spicy yeast, bready malt, elderberry/flowers, and light spice notes; with great strength. Taste of big lightly tart elderberry, strawberry, peach, plum, lemon, orange, cherry, pear, red apple, melon, herbal, floral, grass, and toasted bread; with lighter notes of caramel, nuttiness, coriander, cardamom, anise, fennel, peppercorn, clove, funk, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Mild yeast spiciness, herbal/spice bitterness, and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Lingering notes of elderberry, strawberry, peach, plum, lemon, orange, cherry, pear, red apple, melon, herbal, floral, grass, toasted bread, caramel, nuttiness, coriander, cardamom, anise, fennel, peppercorn, clove, funk, and yeast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/light spicy yeast, bready malt, elderberry/flowers, and light spice flavors; with a nice malt/tart/spiciness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from tart/spiciness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and slightly sticky/tangy/acidic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 7.2%. Overall this is an excellent fruited/spiced Belgian red ale. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/light spicy yeast, bready malt, elderberry/flowers, and light spice flavors; very smooth, crisp, and pretty refreshing to drink; with the mildly tart/spicy/drying finish. Great balance of malts, yeast, and elderberry/flowers; with pleasant background herbal/earthy spice notes. Never overdone. A very enjoyable, unique, and well made offering.
