Commercial Description:
Insanity, first released November 2004, is Weyerbacher's latest creation in the world of cutting edge beers. Insanity is made by aging our perfectly balanced Blithering Idiot Barleywine in oak bourbon casks. This incredible combination creates a melange of flavors such as malt, dates, oak, vanilla, and bourbon just to name a few.

@ home with the club. Pours a red/brown with some floaties. Very small head. Very sweet with aromas of milk chocolate and lots of rhum. Strong residual sugars. Also all-spice, pepper and cake. Bit too sweet. THX Mette/Theis.

Drukket til ungdomsklubben augustsmagning. Jeg havde selv medbragt den. Uklar rødbrun med næsten intet skum. Lidt støvet i duften, tørrede frugter, karameller. sprut, chokolade, allehånde og vanille i duft og smag. Der er også noget krydderkage. Ikke meget biterhed.

2005 bottle: Ugh, way too hot. I was really looking forward to this one. It was in the refridgerator for 2 weeks (long story) and first consumed right out of the fridge and alcohol dominated the nose and palate.

Light ruby pour, no head. Aroma is fruity with sweet apricot, alcohol, grape, caramel, and vanilla. Flavor is beauteous, hops at start, sweet malt and fruitiness follows, and caramel sticks at the end. Palate is nice- not too watery, lingers nicely. Very nice beer.

orange amber pour with no head. Smooth sweet vanilla fruit and hops in the nose. Hoppy in the beginning then a sweet malt middle and a woody alcohol finish. A rather good barley wine

Copper ruby pour with no head. Aroma is caramel with some citrus hops and nectar fruit. Alcohol comes out as well. Flavor is vinous and fruity with lots of sweetness. Alcohol tinge lingers on the palate. Palate is smooth, prickling, and warming. A little over hopped.

pours a dark orange amber with a soft creamy light tan head which lasts as a film... lots of spotty and drippy lacing. something tingles the nostrils... spice or alcohol. i don’t know but it’s not unpleasant... very rich aroma of caramel, malty cereal grain, vanilla/oak and a nice mild bourbon note. the flavor is reminiscent of a well aged vintage BW... low sweetness (yet it’s still sweet) with a ton of malty grain almost like it’s been aged and oxidized with some vanilla, caramel, citrus/orange, wood and spicy bourbon. spicy finish with abv% coming in late really helps to offset the sugar level. medium to full body. really creamy texture and smooth mouth feel. it’s not sticky! the entire bottle is a bit much but one glass is really good!...
