The maple undertone improved greatly as this beer warmed. Weyerbacher’s best by far.

I’m not sure why this is listed as an ale...it’s definitely more a porter beer. Sweet aroma of molasses, brown sugar, and coffee. Very roasty taste, with the molasses, chocolate, and a little faint coffee, with a moderately hoppy finish. An excellent Weyerbacher offering!!

22 oz bottle. Very deep dark brown in color with a nice thick tan head. Roasty aroma. Chocolate notes. Malty and roasty palate. Full bodied. Well balanced beer. Subtle hop character with a roasty bittereness. Nice beer.

22 oz Bottle. Very dark brown, thick tan head. Very roasty aroma, unsweetened chocolate? Nice thick malty roasty palate, with some hops in there complimenting the roasty bitterness. On the thick side of the spectrum. Me likes!

(bottle - 12 oz) Dark black pour with a very tan and puffy head. Nice aroma of chocolate, malts, roasted notes and coffee. The taste is very well blended and smooth. It’s a mixture of chocolate and coffee with hints of roasted malts and a nice bitter coffee finish. One very fine porter.
