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.

Hazy pour with a banana-nut bread aroma. Slippery smooth with a bourbon taste. Taste more like a liqueur than a beer.

Pours a hazy reddish-brown color with a nice initial tan head. Lots of bubbles and foamy patches remain on top. The aroma shows sherry, oak, plums, toffee and sweet candy. The flavor follows, I don’t pick up more or less, perhaps less oak and more sweet toffee or caramel. Scattered lacing. Moderately sticky sweet but it’s fine and not overbearing in small portions. More than half a bomber or so and it becomes a bit much. Very little alcohol sting showing for an 11% beer. It will warm you up though. Overall a solid sipper, straight forward, no wow factor, but a good drink

pours a reddish burgundy tint with a small tan head and some decent lacing. smells woody and alcoholy, with hints of sugar, nutmeg, and spice. tastes like a liquor with slight fruit flavoring. difficult to drink after the first few sips for me and that bourbon taste really kicks in.

Dark red-amber, thin beige head with nice lacing. Malty nose of wood, caramel, light fruit, and bourbon. Flavor is similar, malt and vanilla, with more wood and caramel. Decent body, lengthy finish in sugary wood and caramel, slightly grainy. This is among the best I’ve had from Weyerbacher, the always strong alcohol presence works with the beer here, creating a full, warming experience.
