Weyerbacher Heresy

Bottle. Magnificent pour. Midnight black with a towering inferno of tight, tan foam, slowly picking up little pock marks. The aroma is wickedly infused with whiskey. Drinks with a thick syrupy consistency. While the whiskey burn is surely there in the drink, it’s not so overpowering as to scare the uninitiated. Instead, it’s nicely maintained within this richly roast, lightly coffeed, robustly chocolatey brew. Beauty! (#3423, 4/15/2008)

12 oz. 2006 bottle. Pour opaque but clear dark brown with ruby highlights and a modest splotchy head that leaves spotty lacing. Aroma is soft and woody with chocolate, whiskey, vanilla and cigar smoke notes. Dusty smoky flavor, with some cocoa and vanilla notes. Full-bodied and very smooth, with moderate carbonation and just some slight alcohol. Very nice, although the oak/vanilla character could perhaps be more subtle.

This was a good IPS that as it warmed got better with hints of chocolate and i could taste the vanilla in the finish,it was a nice pour with a nice tan head that lasted a while and was not overpowering,overall a good roasty beer to take the chill out of the bones.CHEERS!

Aroma of dark fruits, vanilla, alcohol, and a touch of oak. Poured an opaque black with a huge tan head. Nice full mouthfeel. Flavor is strong with chocolate and roasted notes, hints of vanilla and oak lurking behind it. Finishes with some noticeable alcohol notes. Quite tasty.

Bottle (22 oz.) Unleashed at cellar temperature and Heresy let loose a lively head that was several fingers high. Aromas were fairly weak for an Imp. Stout... chocolate is dominant and there is a hint of peat, smoke and bourbon. Flavor holds all of the above with a lovely silky mouthfeel and a touch of vanilla to help smooth things out. Additionlly, the alcohol is not distracting but noticeable as it warms a bit.

Bottle from BR007. Pours a pitch black with a nice tan head. Has a medium/heavy mouthfeel. Smells like chocolate with a side of chocolate. Tastes like a creamy stout that has been smoothed with aging in oak. Has a subtle oak flavor with mostly chocolate upfront and a nice roasty aftertaste. This is a very tasty brew.

Beautiful aroma. typical roastiness observed in most stouts, with a nice smell of bourbon and a hint of vanilla. The appearance is also beautiful; jet balck, with a medium brown foam head. The flavor is sweet like a stout, some notes of the oak in it. No taste of the bourbon, surprisingly enough. Persistent roasty flavor left on the palate. Thick mouthfeel. Excellent stout.

chocolate and coffee ground aroma .... thick and creamy head ... bitter coffee initial taste ... creamy feel .. alcohol finish ... raisins, prunes ...
