Weyerbacher Old Heathen

Brewed by Weyerbacher Brewing Co.
Style: Imperial Stout
Easton, Pennsylvania USA

Pours black with a bit of brown head. Aroma of malty chocolate with a touch of fruit. Flavors of chocolate and roasted coffee with that dark fruit lingering in the background. Surprisingly good imperial stout.

Fruit to roast...thin head...atop a black body. Consistent. Black cherry chocolate malt. It is not too strong at the beginning or too weak at the end. The aroma hits the nose outside the glass. oily.

Pours pitch black with a creamy chocolate head. Dark, rich malty aroma with vinous, chocolate, espresso, and caramel notes. The taste is very strong on the chocolate and roasted malts, without being overbearingly burnt tasting. Espresso, cocoa, and dark fruit background. Long, roasty finish. The mouthfeel is full, rich, slick, and oily. You know you’re drinking a stout with this beast.

Bottle. Pours nearly black with thin tan head. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, light roast. Flavor is again chocolate, coffee, roast, caramel. Palate is medium to full bodied, mild carbonation, finished bitter. Decent stuff.

Pours almost black with a thick tan head that quickly fades into a ring. Aroma of roast and dark chocolate. Flavors much the same. Medium carbonation. Medium mouthfeel. Very nice impy stout.

Ding ding ding We have a winner Me vieron cara de pendejo despues de pedir el sampler (gracias gordo cerote) Pero me reivindique Barbaro!

Bottle. Pour is black, oily, and thick with a nice two finger head that is burnt umber in color and has good staying power. Leaves some small lacing in the glass. Aroma is huge! Filled with chocolate, hops, malt, coffee, and a bit of alcohol. Taste is warm, with a complex ballet of chocolate, malt, and coffee dancing with one another. And then it falls off into a tart hop filled dark chocolate second act that reminds me of hand made truffles. An excellent imperial that I would recommend to anyone that loves a good stout.
