imadeadguy (378), back in NJ!, New Jersey, USA Jul 31, 2009 12oz. Pour is deep black with a frothy brown head. Aromas of vanilla, roasted malts, coffee, and oak. Flavor is packed with roasted malts, slight soy sauce, vanilla, wood, and a boozy alcohol hit. I dont see where the burbon is. I thought this was aged in barrels??? Thats my only let down here. kevd193213 (477), Hope Valley, Rhode Island, USA Jul 30, 2009 22 oz bomber. Thick black pour wtih a thin brown head. Aroma of chocolate, malt and burnt sugar. Taste of burnt almonds, chocolate, coffee, and faint whiskey. Nice full finish. Jsawyer (282), Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 28, 2009 Bottle. Thin chocolate head that subsides quickly atop an obsidian body with copper highlights. Aroma is caramel, slight butterscotch, strong roast, some dark chocolate, strong vanilla, coffee bean and espresso notes, dark fruits, and bourbon oak. Flavor is robust caramel, light butterscotch, vanilla, wonderfully strong roast, dark chocolate, vanilla, slightly fruity, bourbon, and oak. Fine carbonation in the palate is not only refreshing but complementary to the alcohol which you feel on the back of your palate more than you actually taste it, and the body is beautifully smooth and complex. vtafro (452), , New Jersey, USA Jul 23, 2009 Bottle. This bottle stands out on a shelf. Not a bad choice, definitely a solid imperial stout. Would like to see how this beer holds up with age. drpimento (785), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA Jul 22, 2009 Got this beer about 6 weeks ago at Sam’s in Chicago. Nice stuff. Poured with an off-white to light tan head and a bit of lace. Opaque brown. Heavy dark chocolate aroma rounded out with coffee, toffee, caramel, malt, barest hint of hop. Flavor’s similar. Body is good- natural carbonation, decent mouth. finish is easy. Session beer but for the sneaky alcohol. sinkr (212), Lusby, Maryland, USA Jul 17, 2009 Bottle->snifter: Pours an average, rocky, light brown head that exhibits good lacing atop an amber body. Aroma of caramel, coffee, and toffee. The body is full and the is texture creamy. The flavor’s duration average and is moderately sweet. I am more than pleased with most Weyerbacher beers. Hophead22 (1056), Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA Jul 5, 2009 12oz bottle from my man Wolf (Swolf3). Jet black pour with very little head. Chocolate, some wood, very nice aroma. Very smooth, I’m getting alot of oak in this one, somewhat dry, with a little bit of dark chocolate, pretty darn tasty. ewestern (198), Ohio, USA Jul 5, 2009 Very nice black beer with a frothy brown head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma of roasted malts and alcohol. Fairly strong bourbon like alcohol flavor that fades with time. Nice layer of chocolate underneath. Smooth for the most part with a slight alcohol burn at the end. Little more than medium bodied and warms nicely. Very enjoyable beer.
