Weyerbacher Heresy

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

12 oz bottle. Pours motor oil black with tan head. Aroma of coffee, roasted malt, and chocolate. Taste shows the oak and vanilla. Great balance, great smoothness. This beer goes down silky smooth at 8.2%. A little pricey at $3.50 a bottle, but I feel less upset after I’ve tried this bad boy- a top Imperial Stout.

Pour is black with massive brown foam. Nose is chocolate, malt, and coffee. On the palate you certainly can taste the oak and vanilla flavor along with coffee and chocolate. Exceptional.

Pours a pitch black with a mocha head. Very nice chocolatey aroma with some coffee hints. Very smooth stout, not too hard to drink, with a nice palate and overall chocolatey flavor. Coffee and malts are still present but the prevailing sweet flavor with little bitterness gives this stout a great deal of drinkability.

Heresey is a great imperial stout. Weyerbacher is becoming one of my favorite breweries.

Bottle thanks to Captaincougar. Pour is luscious looking black with a small brown head. Aroma is big on bourbon with vanilla, brown sugar,and wood...very enticing. Also notes of dark chocolate and cuban coffee. Flavor is brown sugar and dark malt up front. The velvety bourbon flavors of vanilla and wood are also evident early but they last the whole way through and for quite a while after the beer is gone. Also subtle cuban coffee and chocolate in the finish. The beer is very well balanced and very easy to drink. Really wonderful.

pours black with very little head, merely a color change on the surface of the liquid. nose is of lots of raisins and smoke. nice oaky taste with somm wood and a bunch of sweet malt, but it is nicely balanced with some hop bitterness. it is rich and vel;vety in the front, but seems to fall thin and flat in the back palate. it’s a nice beer, sort of a sessionable ba impy stout! lol!

12 oz bottle courtesy of an extra from.. TheEpeeist? Pours a pitchblack thicker pour, but not the motor oil consistency I expected, a small darker brown head that laces a bit, but dies to a film. Opaque, dark. Aromas are dark chocolates, roasted malts, light bitterness and roast, complimented by coffee beans, almost mocha, with a light oak and bourbon element that doesn’t take the lead. Light vanilla, sweetness mixed with roast and bitterness. Faint soy sauce, nothing intimidating. Promising. Initial is a thick enough body, but lighter on the palate that a heavy one, with good roasted malts, chocolate and vanilla that leaves more sweetness than I’d have expected, light coffee and cream, still good roast but the sweetness counteracts, light barrel oak and vanilla with a bit of bourbon, but not overlly boozy. Infact, the booze falls behind moreso than other examples. Light smoke, ash, and coffee sticks on finish and palate. A softer BA Imperial Stout, more palatable overall, but with that comes a lack of that intensity of flavors the style is known for. Still, a solid beer and I’m likely to be able to drink more of this overall. Hope to revisit.

Pours black with a light brown head. Aromas of burnt malts, chocolate, vanila and oak. Sweet roasted malt flavor with vanilla and milk chocolate. There is some oak woodiness in the finish. It has a nice creamy mouthfeel with soft carbonation and full body.
