Sep 20, 2006 Bottled - LCRBM2 - A pretty much black coloured beer. The aroma is massive roasted malts and some good berry fruits. A very nice inviting nose. The taste is too thin though, and in no way lives up to the aroma. It is dry in texture yet a little sweet in taste. The alcohol doesn’t show itself either. A disappointment after a truly nice whiff.

Sep 19, 2006 Bottle. Pours dark, dark espresso brown with an intense caramel colored head that didn’t stick around too long. Aroma is hugely roasty and malty with alcohol in the background. Coffee, dark fruit, bitter chocolate, and also some toffee, and nuttiness... rather sweet smelling despite all the other aromas. Flavor follows the nose fairly well, only mildly bitter, quite dry, almost none of the fruit and sugar I got in the nose. Nice and smoky up front and I can’t taste any of the alcohol. Mouthfeel is decent, but under-carbonated, I think. A good stout for sure, but it leaves something to be desired, although I can’t put my finger on what it is.

Sep 16, 2006 Very strong and sweet roasted coffee / chocolate appeal. This is another great Weyerbacher, so long as you are prepared for a bold and powerful taste!

Sep 13, 2006 LCRBM2: Coffee with too much sugar in the aroma. Very sweet flavor with roast and some coffee. Brown sugar. Not my favorite, just too sweet and onedimensional.

Sep 12, 2006 No head, pure stale coffee. And then the nose is pure coffee again! As well as an aroma of dried, unsalted peanuts. Coffee, sweet, chocolate with coffee, but not much else, the restsweetness excepted. Very titillating MF, despite no apparent carbonation. As if some organic acid were added. Not very refined. Just quite unidimensional.

Sep 10, 2006 Updated: Jan 2, 2007I’ve got a pile of these in the basement and, to my surprise, I hadn’t yet rated the Old Heathen. Bottle pours nice and dark with a pleasant coffee-dark chocolate aroma. Taste of coffee, chocolate, and sweet malt with a nice finish. Tastes alot better at 50degrees+.
