Weyerbacher Heresy

Brewed by Weyerbacher Brewing Co.
Style: Imperial Stout
Easton, Pennsylvania USA

Bottle thanks to Captaincougar. Pour is luscious looking black with a small brown head. Aroma is big on bourbon with vanilla, brown sugar,and wood...very enticing. Also notes of dark chocolate and cuban coffee. Flavor is brown sugar and dark malt up front. The velvety bourbon flavors of vanilla and wood are also evident early but they last the whole way through and for quite a while after the beer is gone. Also subtle cuban coffee and chocolate in the finish. The beer is very well balanced and very easy to drink. Really wonderful.

pours black with very little head, merely a color change on the surface of the liquid. nose is of lots of raisins and smoke. nice oaky taste with somm wood and a bunch of sweet malt, but it is nicely balanced with some hop bitterness. it is rich and vel;vety in the front, but seems to fall thin and flat in the back palate. it’s a nice beer, sort of a sessionable ba impy stout! lol!

12 oz bottle courtesy of an extra from.. TheEpeeist? Pours a pitchblack thicker pour, but not the motor oil consistency I expected, a small darker brown head that laces a bit, but dies to a film. Opaque, dark. Aromas are dark chocolates, roasted malts, light bitterness and roast, complimented by coffee beans, almost mocha, with a light oak and bourbon element that doesn’t take the lead. Light vanilla, sweetness mixed with roast and bitterness. Faint soy sauce, nothing intimidating. Promising. Initial is a thick enough body, but lighter on the palate that a heavy one, with good roasted malts, chocolate and vanilla that leaves more sweetness than I’d have expected, light coffee and cream, still good roast but the sweetness counteracts, light barrel oak and vanilla with a bit of bourbon, but not overlly boozy. Infact, the booze falls behind moreso than other examples. Light smoke, ash, and coffee sticks on finish and palate. A softer BA Imperial Stout, more palatable overall, but with that comes a lack of that intensity of flavors the style is known for. Still, a solid beer and I’m likely to be able to drink more of this overall. Hope to revisit.

Pours black with a light brown head. Aromas of burnt malts, chocolate, vanila and oak. Sweet roasted malt flavor with vanilla and milk chocolate. There is some oak woodiness in the finish. It has a nice creamy mouthfeel with soft carbonation and full body.

Bottle thanks to beerman6866 and a dark lord day trade pous black meduim body and a minimal head, tan foam, with aromas of chocolate, vanilla, roasted malts and bourbon taste of the same with vanilla and soy sauce creamy, and smooth not hot nicely done just wish i could pick up more chocolate

Bottle from Secret Santa. Almost black and opague. Cream, oak, vanilla and chocolate in the aroma. Dried fruit, chocolate, oak and vanilla in the flavor. Hints of ash. tasty, well matured imperial stout, not too sweet.

Black with a nice dark tan head sitting atop it. Chocolate, a tad bit of roast and some bitter in the aroma. Lots of flavour outta this one, chocolate, some barrel hints (not overly bourbon but something is there) maybe even a bit of vanilla in here. I don’t typically think of Weyebacher as being anything more than average but this was quite enjoyable.

Pours thick and black with a nice mocha colored head of about a half inch. Immediate smell is that of heavy alcohol, but that quickly subsides with some chocolate coming to the forefront. Very very faint hint of fruit and coffee are present as well. Taste is very nice, big hits of chocolate and oak. No sign of hops at all. Mouthfeel is probably where this falters a bit, while the thickness is nice, it is probably a tad overcarbonated. Drinkability is high, I would order again, but I think it is too rich to do more than one in a row.
