Weyerbacher Heresy

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

Tried at PP Strong Ale festival with many friends. Nice old malty aged slight O2 aroma. Pitch black.

Poured into a brandy snifter. Dark black with a large beige head. Coffee aroma with some chocolate Not bitter at all. Rich and creamy, the beer goes down smoothly. Very nice beer for a cool Fall evening by the fire.

22 oz. bottle shared with kleyland, courtesy of alexanderj. Pours a dark black with a medium sized brown head. Woody aroma with some bourbon notes. Initial sip is a bit sweet, some chocolate. Mouthfeel is mainly roasted malts. Some lingering bitterness finishes this one off. Nice beer.

6th and final brew of Turkey Day 07 after a tripdofan nap. Pours black with a nice light brown head. Taste is sweet with notes od coffee, chocolate and sweetness with a lingering bitterness. Overall pretty tasty.

decided while prepping the turkey for brining...decided a keep it for a special occasion beer was in order. The occasion, the lady making pumpkin Crème brûlée... and all I have to do is donate my brewing pot to an overnight turkey home. Black brew, good fluidity in pour. Sweet and sour beer. Quite a fantastic combination. Something I don’t think I would have liked in the beginning of my beer education, ore even membership of with ratebeer, or possibly when I received this in a trade over a year ago, but now, quite nice. I don’t know how this aged bottle compares to the fresh ones, but if this is any indication, age on people, age on. Really smooth, I’m glad I had the ’hold onto’ mentality with this one. Very slight alcohol taste right at the end is the only heat this one brings at it’s age.

22oz. Opaque ultra dark brown with a tan head. Bourbon like sweet woody aroma with chocolate and smoke - coffee and winter spices also, some alcohol. Flavor is decent, some bitterness, lots of coffee and chocolate, vanilla and oak are apparent. Woodiness pretty much overpowers everything else. It’s alright, but pretty unbalanced.

Pours an inpenetrable black with a moderate, microbeble brown head that fades to a solid cap. The aroma has lightly sour and heavily alcoholic overtones above notes of star anise, roasted malts (less then average for style), sweet mocha, very subtle dark fruit and has an eggnog-like buttery quality. The flavour is bittersweet cocoa, smoke, oak/vanilla, bourbon, licorice and a roasted malt and hop bitter finish. There is nice balance of hop citrus and chocolate/coffee malts. Again, alcohol is very prevalent in the taste. The palate creamy and full-bodied with a long sticky finish. There is way too much booze for such a modest abv of 8%, but for $5 a bomber, this is some pretty good stuff.

Pours an oily black with small tan creamy head. Aroma is very potent, liqourish, light red wine, boozy, and mild roasted coffee. Initial taste of dark fruits, coffee, alcohol, and oaky mocha background. Mild liqourish finish with soft bitter chocolate. Slight dry finish. Medium body.
