Weyerbacher Heresy

It’s got a cloying sweet smell, alcohol, raisins, chocolate milkshake, palate starts out with whiskey, coffee, chocolate, mellows as you sip it. This is rich decadent complex stuff. The look is very very dark with red highlights. This is one fine beer. By accident this happened to be my 666th rating...

Pint bottle. Black-brown with a lovely small brown head that recedes to a thick ring. Aroma of roast, chocolate, and maybe even some vanilla. Not as strong as you’d think it’d be, though. The flavour is very chocolatey, with oak following along behind, and mocha, vanilla, and roast bringing up the rear. Some hops in the finish. Alcohol is very well hidden; you’d never know this was such a strong beer. Incredibly silky smooth and full. Very nice.

This is a great barrel aged Stout that isn’t overwhelmed by the flavors of the barrel! Slight roasted aroma, sweet, boozy, malty and coffee flavor low carbonation and a great slick mouth feel! Definitely a winner!

Near black colour, flat and oily-looking. Beefy, oily aroma like Indonesian soy sauce. Soft and sweet with light bourbon nuances. Dark chocolate, minerals, leaves and muscovado sugars on the palate.

22 oz bomber purchased at Oak Tree. Pours a solid pitch black with a large tight foamy beige head. Aroma of bourbon, vanillla, roasted malts, slight oak and bitter chocolate. Medium bodied that is slightly creamy but finishes with a good amount of alcohol warming even though this is only 8.2% alcohol. Flavor of bourbon, roasted malts, vanilla, and slight coffee. This beer has a long after taste that mellows out and is very nice. I’m glad this one is in a 22oz bottle because it seems to be growing on me the longer I sip it.

Pours dark black with a thick and creamy brown head. Really interesting piney aroma with a roasted coffee overtone. Equally piney alcohol flavor with a coffee finish. Kind of thin and strong. A bigger body might have balanced the alcohol a little better.

Pours black with a thick brown head. Aroma is coffee and sweet pine. Flavor starts real sweet and moves to a nice coffee finish. A little too sweet for me in an imperial stout, and I swear there is a hint of paint. Average.

Black body with a fast disappering light brown head; Quite good but not to big a nose, some burnt barrel bourbon notes other wise smooth and soft; Soft textured body with a slight sour touch, as well as being a little thin, strange combo; Medium long finish where the bourbon aroma appears and somehow makes it a little thin and sharp, slightly sour with an oak vanilla warmth. Not to well composed, somehow it seems the initial beer has been to soft and not big enough for the barrel aging to do good.
