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.

Not a bad showing. Poured a dark brown, pretty black color. Head was nice initially (esp. for high abv), lacing ok. The aroma was of oak, wood chips and coffee, along with some bourbon or liquor. The flavor was comparable, coffee more prevalent. Mouthfeel was moderate to heavy. Not a lot of hop balance, but good stuff.

Bottle. Pours black hole black, with a medium brown head. Dark, smokey chocolate aroma. Heavy flavors - dark chocolate, burnt coffee, and slight dark fruit, with a strong woody and brandy notes. Smooth, soupy, and a tad tarry - but HEAVY. Delightful.

WOW! Just opened my 2yr old 12oz bottle. Got it right from the brewery and man is it good. Tastes like Jim Beam and coffee in a pint glass. Delicious! Carbonation doubled and it tastes as though the abv level did also. This beer is meant to be aged and its well worth the wait.

Appearance: Dark color with a pinky-sized tan head.

Smell: Smells kind of like a JD and coke to me. Sweet fruit and burnt malt wood and slightly harsh vanilla.

Taste: roasty chalk , sweet, chocolate, vanilla, with a dry, slightly bitter finish. A little watery, but overall a pleasant pull. No alcohol taste, which at only 8.2% is a good thing

Palate: on the light end of an imperial stout.

A drinkable brew, nothing earth shattering. I could session this baby under some circumstances, which is scary.

On tap at the Virginia Beer Festival. Pours very dark with a thin tan head. Aroma of espresso, bits of dark chocolate, and oak chips. Flavor was excellent - strong espresso notes, cream, roasted oak, dark chocolate, and malts. Goes down nice and smooth - I need to get more of this.

12-oz bottle from jjpm74. Pours an opaque thick liquor, rocky diminishing tan head. Aroma is dark sour chocolate malt (straw, meal), ashy toasted malt, oak and vinous notes, yeast (earth), caramel and molasses. Dark bitter chocolate and coffee flavor, medium acidity and creamy, drying and spicy finish. Dark bodied, creamy palate, spicy and slightly dry end.
