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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
