Weyerbacher Heresy

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

Pours opaque brown with surprisingly large tan head. Pungent aroma of chocolate, coffee, and some vanilla notes, and flavor of chocolate and coffee, some dried fruits, got a hint of cranberry. Thick but worth it, excellent version of style.

On tap at Stougies and Stouts at the Dunedin brewery. Pours dark brown with infra red edges, full mocha head and spotty lacing. The aroma is mild with a little bit of oak, a little bit of roast, a hint of molasses and little else. The taste is sweet, malty and mild molasses then turning toward a little bit of oak by midway and more sweetness. It has sweet aroma and pretty darn sweet flavor from sweet malts and sweet sugary molasses. Into the finish some roasty malts, mildly burnt malts and a sense of coffee join faint oak, a bit of vanilla and just detectable alcohol chemical notes that rise up and close out the experience.

Gorgeous brew here. Pours opaque black into the glass, with a generous tan head that leaves nice lace. Immediately upon cracking the seal, I was greeted with an abundant chocolate nose.... very well-done. The flavors are similar in tow, with deep chocolate hues (multi-faceted), sweet malts, roasts, hints of dried cherries and dark fruits toward the finish.... which culminates in a whisky-esque, licorice mouthfeel that feels like tobacco soaked in vanilla extract. ABV couldn’t be better integrated, and this is certainly one fine Impy Stout that I was happy to enjoy!

tap at Stogies & Stouts ’09. Pours dark brown/blackish with thick creamy beige / mocha like head. Aroma chocolate malts, with plenty of sweet vanilla and warming bourbon nose. Taste has an amazing palate of whiskey barrel and wood, some vanilla sweetness, chocolate and some cocoa powder. Faint coffee remaining under the oak / bourbon overall goodness.

Tallahassee, Fl - Liqour Loft - 12 oz bottle. Pours a coal black, dark as night black with a creamy mocha colored head that leaves a nice bit of lacing. Pungent aroma of figs, brandy and molasses, very fresh with malty goodness. Flavor is full-bodied and rich with bold bittersweet chocolate notes, some fresh pipe tobacco, figs, brandy and a hint of dark strong French roast coffee. Finishes with a hint of licorice and some faint wisps of vanilla. Full bodied and thick, this is an excellent winter warmer. Weyerbacher is quickly becoming one of my favorite brewers.

Deep brown to black in color with slight head... Roasted malt flavor with a chocolate finish... Distinctly malty aroma... I enjoyed this stout...

Bottle. Ripe fruit aroma with definite bourbon notes. Black body, medium creamy brown head. Flavor has the bourbon notes, but not obnoxiously so. Lots of sweetness, fruit and chocolate. Needs a bit of bitterness in the finish.
