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.

This one runs a little hot. Fruit, sweet malt, but there’s more alcohol in the aroma and the flavor than is needed. I’ve had plenty of beers this strong that handled their alcohol better.

12oz Bottle from Firemoose15. Nose is light woodiness, heavy on raisins and brown cane sugar. Flavor is the woody, light bourbon to start, with the dark roasty fruits in the middle and a pleasant spicy warming. LIght vanilla in the finish. Alcoho, while present, is well-integrated. This was a nice winter warmer. Thanks, Mel.

Bottle shared with Angeloregon... Poured amberish/orange with a creamy, beige head. Aroma of boozy bourbon, vanilla and malts. A smooth, high alcohol beer. Very complex with loads of vanilla and oak notes. Dark, dry fruit characters and creme brulee like finish.

Hazed orange with almost no head or lace. Nice raisin and fruity aroma. Brown sugar, orange, bread, a hint of vanilla, and a nice dried fruit flavor. Full bodied with nice mild carbonation.

Intense Bourbon flavor. Very welcoming aroma. Sweet. Vanilla. This is a nice bourbon beer even if it is not exactly a barley wine in style.
