Weyerbacher Heresy

Now this is an Imperial Stout! Aroma of bourbon,whiskey, vanilla is right on! Solid black in color just like the Old Heathen, only this one has a fluffy brown head. Much smoother than the Old Heathen as well. Very smooth and creamy. It is amazing what a little wood will do. (That’s what she said) The only thing that throws me off from this bottle is that it is 22oz and the lesser Old Heathen is only 12oz. This is an amazing beer. I love it! Thank you MrBendo for the great trade piece! You are the man, Todd.

Pours close to black with a dark tan dense head. The aroma has dark chocolate, vanilla, roasted malt, a bit of bourbon and light alcohol traces. Medium / full body with a good amount of soft carbonation. The flavor starts with lots of chocolate, roasted malt, light sourness and even some light berry notes. The finish brings out some more bourbon, roasted malt and sourness that lingers. A good impy stout, but there are significantly better available.

22 ounce bottle from Thiachili. Black as black can be. A lasting whipped brown head. Aromas of roast barley, oak, vanilla, whiskey, dark chocolate. Medium whisky and oak flavor. Also some char, vanilla and dark malts. Palate is oily and slick. Roasted bitterness in the finish. Pretty avarage.

Thick, sweet, malty scent with alcohol. Thick black body with creamy tan head. Amazing complex malty flavour. Thick, thick, well-malted. Whoof.

Big beer, smoky and sweet with a ton of oak. This is somewhere between a smooth red wine and beer. Not exactly bursting with flavor, but what’s there is enough. Alcohol isn’t noticeable. Svelte big black body, head is disappointing though, even when poured hard.

12 oz bottle via kramer17801 (thanks!). Pours a pitch black with an average size tan head. Strong nose with notes of bourbon, anise, chocolate. Taste is the same. Watery mouthfeel and surprisingly thin body.

Blind rating, American Beer Tastings at Sk8viking´s. Pours black with a tanned head. Smells of oak and coffee. Tastes of oak. Hint of band aid. Also some coffee but in a week and boring way. Otherwise nice.

Black body with decent tan head. Aroma is oaky with some bitter hops. Oak flavors are nice but the rest of the flavors... chocolate and roasted malts... are a bit mild. I may just be a sucker for oak but this is pretty tasty.
