Jun 10, 2009 Dark brown pour with excellent ruby tints and a one finger beige head. Aroma is strong of hops, alcohol, and caramel malt. Flavor is quite boozy with a very sweet fruity caramel component to balance it out. Hops take a back seat, but are reminiscent in the finish. Palate is mildly syrupy, but thin for the style. Nothing too special.

Jun 3, 2009 Bottle at Taco Mac during epic free shirt quest- this is beer #13, the one that earned me the shirt. Pours hazy copper with a small off-white head. Boozy bready caramel malt aroma. Thick and rich, full of caramel/toffee with just a hint of fruity hops. Certainly not bad, but I was a little disappointed with this one after falling in love with Weyerbacher’s amazing Double Simcoe.

May 31, 2009 Weyerbacher Blithering Idiot is a cloudy, deep amber ale with a small, dense, khaki head that has good retention and lacing. It has a slightly sweet, malty aroma with notes of spicy green hops, juniper and black pepper. It is full bodied, creamy and very smooth; almost flat with a slightly gritty finish. It’s pretty well balanced. The malt is a little sweet and the hops taste very green. It’s very drinkable, even at 11.1% ABV.

May 21, 2009 Poured an amber color with an aroma of alcohol and either dates or figs. I have tried a couple barley wines, and this is my favorite. Very drinkable, but my least favorite Weyerbacher beer that I have tried.
