Commercial Description:
This is an incredibly intriguing ale is made by aging our Old Heathen Imperial Stout in oak barrels that were used for making fine Kentucky bourbon! The result is an extraordinary, dark, and mysterious stout whose very essence has been enhanced. The aroma is filled with vanilla, cocoa, and roasted coffee beans. This silky-smooth brew has notes of oak, whiskey, roasted barley and vanilla that meld together on the tongue to create an incredible sensation. Heresy is released in February.

Thanks to Joebrew for sharing. Dark dark brown body with faint brown head. Rich coffee nose with lots of bourbon. Very sweet body with roasted malt flavor.

This Imperial Stout pours an eclipse black color from a 22oz bottle. Medium sized tan foamy head. Aroma is roasted malts, some chocolate and some vanilla. A medium to full bodied Imperial Stout. Malts are chocolate, touch of dark fruit with some roastiness. Hops are earthy. There is a touch of oak and a touch of vinous quality in this beer, that goes well with the roasty malts. Very smooth taste. Nice balance. Good sipping beer. The slight sour/tart/lactic flavor is nice, it adds to the flavors of this beer without being dominant. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Wow! Very dark brown with a lare thick head. Smooth and rich, tastes of vanilla and butterscotch. Alcohol taste is quite evident-this one is potent! Has a kind of scotch taste to it. Not one to swill but to sip and enjoy. Thumbs up!

Oh baby, baby! This was like eating dessert. Like a chocolatey milkshake. I didn’t get all the overboard oak/whiskey that everyone’s talking about in the aroma and taste. This was so damn smooth and delicious. Creamy and decadent in the mouth. I’ll be right back....gotta go to the store and buy some more!

12oz bottle. Pours a dark brwon with 2 finger tan head. A lot of the oak comes through in the aroma as well as good bits of roasted malts, chocolate, dark fruits and a little of the bourbon & some vanilla. Flavor is very similar to the aroma - oak, chocolate, malt, bourbon. A decent, middle-of-the-road imp stout.

Thank you Coldbrewky/Steve for this nice beer, that I have looked forward to tasting. it’s pitch black, and the head is nougat, huge and creamy. The aroma has clear notes of oak barrels and vanilla. The mouthfeel is oily and smooth. The flavour is powerful and yet very smooth. It has a lot of oak, vanilla, roasted malt, chocolate and some whisky. Normally I don’t like the whisky flavour, but here it’s a perfect match - and it’s a really nice stout! 2064
