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.

Lots of different flavors coming at you - malt, hops, caramel, wood, raisins... But it all seems to work. You do know the alcohol level is high, but if you are brave, it is definitely worth a taste.

Pours red on the edges and brown through the middle with a tan head. Instant whiskey aroma. Really hard to get past the fact this seems like Jim Beam mixed with beer but I did detect some huge malt and hop flavors albeit suffocated by the liquor and alcohol heat. Bitter grapefruit and alcohol finish.

wow another bear aged and then called something different. crediet to weyerbacher for their clever marketing schemes. Allthough this fine brew is much better then the blitherin idiot it still is about average. Has a velvet texture to it, good taste for the high abv.

Pours deep amber into a snifter. Head subsides to the rim. Sweet oak and whiskey notes. Full creamy caramel with alcohol/whiskey flavors. Mild bitter alcohol finish.

Beer was a cloudy dark amber in color. Had a full tan head that clung to the glass. Rich malty aromas with some fruity aromas mixed in with a mild whiskey oak coming through. Good full malt body with some mild whiskey and fruit mixed in. A very complex beer but not as much whiskey barrel and vanilla flavors as I expected.

12 oz bottle: Pours an amber color with a hazy hue to it. Nice fluffy offwhite head (hazelnut). The head lingers throughout the entire beer and leaves remains along the side of my glass throughout the entire beer. The aroma is very caramely, woody, alcohol, green apples, raisins, and tobacco. The palate is creamy smooth. The taste is of tabacco, rasins, alcohol and wood. A little too much alcohol and rasin/prune taste for my liking. A complex beer, with a smooth mouthfeel.

22oz - Aroma is hops, oak, tobacco, vanilla, carmel, and alcohol soaked raisins. Pours hazy brown with a small head and great lacing. Flavor is strong oak and alcohol. Carmel, bourbon, raisin, and hops finish it off. Palate is sticky and smooth. A very woody American barleywine and quite tasty.

22oz bottle shared at my brother-in-law’s house. Pours amber and quite cloudy with a tan head that stayed pretty well and laced down the glass. Aroma is light caramel, a touch of vanilla, and some mild hops. Flavor starts out quite sweet, some caramel, oak, vanilla, then you are smacked by the sudden burn and strength of the alcohol in this brew. Smooth palate until the finish which is quite alcoholic.
