Commercial Description:
This is an incredibly intriguing ale is made by aging our Old Heathen Imperial Stout in oak barrels that were used for making fine Kentucky bourbon! The result is an extraordinary, dark, and mysterious stout whose very essence has been enhanced. The aroma is filled with vanilla, cocoa, and roasted coffee beans. This silky-smooth brew has notes of oak, whiskey, roasted barley and vanilla that meld together on the tongue to create an incredible sensation. Heresy is released in February.

Bottle from Secret Santa. Almost black and opague. Cream, oak, vanilla and chocolate in the aroma. Dried fruit, chocolate, oak and vanilla in the flavor. Hints of ash. tasty, well matured imperial stout, not too sweet.

Black with a nice dark tan head sitting atop it. Chocolate, a tad bit of roast and some bitter in the aroma. Lots of flavour outta this one, chocolate, some barrel hints (not overly bourbon but something is there) maybe even a bit of vanilla in here. I don’t typically think of Weyebacher as being anything more than average but this was quite enjoyable.

Pours thick and black with a nice mocha colored head of about a half inch. Immediate smell is that of heavy alcohol, but that quickly subsides with some chocolate coming to the forefront. Very very faint hint of fruit and coffee are present as well. Taste is very nice, big hits of chocolate and oak. No sign of hops at all. Mouthfeel is probably where this falters a bit, while the thickness is nice, it is probably a tad overcarbonated. Drinkability is high, I would order again, but I think it is too rich to do more than one in a row.

From the Bottle at Dr Bill’s Tasting Falling Rock Tap House, Denver 10/10/2008 Bourbon aroma. Black smooth on the palate and strong in alcohol with a crisp and slightly dry vanilla finish.

22oz bomber from once upon a vine. pours a slick, oily, jet black with a lovely, light cinnamon head and great lacing. aroma is excellent with big notes of roasted malts, dark chocolate, and espresso with lovely hints of licorice, dark fruits, vanilla, and woody bourbon. flavor is delicious as well with bold, roast coffee, dark chocolate, and vanilla cream up front followed by sweet butterscotch, charred oak, dried prune, smoked almonds, and smooth bourbon notes leading to a long, bittersweet finish. palate is silky and full bodied with just a touch of booze on the swallow. overall, an excellent barrel aged imperial stout.

Weyerbacher Heresy is a solid black ale with a huge, creamy, light brown head that has outstanding retention and leaves thick sheets of lacing on the glass. There is coffee, salmiakki, chocolate and wood in the aroma. It’s pretty full bodied, smooth and creamy with a crisp finish that has a little graininess to it. It’s pretty delicate for an imperial stout. There’s lots of wood resin in the flavor and not a lot of sweetness. There is a note of coffee and a hint of licorice. It has super balance. This beer is downright chuggable.
