Commercial Description:
Formerly Weyerbacher Imperial Stout.
Rich, velvety and deliciously complex, Weyerbacher Imperial Stout is a truly distinctive winter warmer. We use seven types of malt and two varieties of hops to bring forth this big brew. Quite robust and roasty on the palate, Weyerbacher Imperial Stout has a wonderfully fruity nose and a moderately dry finish. The taste is highly complex- perhaps you'll even discern notes of expresso or chocolate.

bottle. Black with a tan head. Aroma is heavy caramel, coffee, roasted malts, and hops. Taste is about the same, slightly bitter throughout the pallet....

From bottle. Pours black with creamy coffee head. Nose is bitter coffee, a sour vinousness, and hints of chocolate. Flavor has a bitter grapefruit component up front, moving into a coffee and lemon finish. Somewhat sour overall. Seems like the hops were overdone on this one, but still an interesting brew.

RATING # - 1200 - Pours a nice black. Coffee/chocolate and little tobacco aroma. Flavor is awesome, rich and smooth, like roasted espresso loaded with dark bitter chocolate and kinda sweet. The alcohol is well hidden among the massive flavors.

A moderate roasted aroma with hints of chocolate and dark fruit greet the nose. The flavor is a blend of roasted coffee, chocolate, and dark fruit with a bittersweet finish on the palate. The color is a dark black with a huge tan head of considerable duration .

The first Weyerbacher product that really wowed me. Hits all the appropriate notes for an Imperial, a little bit of a silky feel to the body, excellent. Now I hope I can track down a bottle of the Heresy...

I made a mistake of drinking this one a little too cold. Let this one warm up a little. (2nd time I’ve tasted it) In my Brooklyn snifter. Tan head fades. Midnight black. Notes of caramel and coffee and some piney hop notes on the nose, very subtle. Silky on the palate, cocoa, and maybe some light liqorice. The silkiness grows and the beer expands in the mouth to a very modest richness. I think this one maybe a little underrated, congruant with my first impression. Glad I gave it another try.

Bottle. Dark brown coloured with a beige head. Sweet aroma of cocoa powder and dried fruits. Flavour of cocoa powder with notes of dried fruits and acidic notes. A disappointment from this great brewery.
