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.

Pours out an oily, chocolaty color with an aroma of distinctive malts, chocolates, and whiskey. Flavor is full bodied, a clean Imperial Stout. Roasted malts, coffee and chocolate resonate through this wonderful beer. Another great brew from our friends in PA.

Pours black as night with a big brown head.Aroma is bourbon, chocolate and a hint of alcohol. Flavor is more roasty than the nose. Alcohol is a little more present than in some of the Imperial stouts with higher ABV. A very good beer, with a nice roasted aftertaste.

Pours a deep black, oily in appearance. The head is a tad thick for an imp.stout. Chestnut brown. Creamy and reasonably quick in subsiding. Sweet, candy/bubblegum aroma, alcohol, bakers chocolate, and coffee. There is a noticeable alcohol bite, slight bourbon and oak taste, burnt chocolate and coffee. Very prominent roast. Burnt roasty palate with an alcohol coolness. The finish was warm from alcohol and sweet. Overall a much better imperial stout than I expected but I also love imperial stouts and tend to have a bias towards them.

The beer pours black with a dark tan head that stays with it for most of the glass. The beer has a heavy alcohol taste, almost like that of liquor. It has a moderate coffee taste with underlying hints of chocolate. The finish is heavy and stays with you...like liquor. Its not a bad brew, its just not for me.
