Weyerbacher Heresy

Brewed by Weyerbacher Brewing Co.
Style: Imperial Stout
Easton, Pennsylvania USA

This stout has a deeply dark brown body with a thin tan head. It has light aromas of caramel, coffee, chocolate and nuts. It is thick and dreamy with coffee and bourbon flavors.

This bottle has about 8 months on it. Pours midnight black with a thick, frothy mocha colored head. Vanilla beans and chocolate fudge dominate the boozey nose. The thick, chewy mouthfeel is a great vehicle for this nicely balanced, but complex beer. The oak adds a great background to the sweet malts. The touch of subtle wood and vanilla play off the brownie sweet body. A touch of pipe tobacco and woody smoke fill the mouth as well. Marshmellows also come to mind. The finish dries out nicely, but not too much, leaving just enough sweetness on the palate.

Bottle obtained in a trade with fyrecrakker05. Pours an opaque black color with a tiny tan head and just a little bit of lacing. Aroma is roasty and big with lots of slightly bitter coffee hints. Flavor is very roasty/milky with slight chocolate and caramel hints, milky on the palate and vanilla and bourbon definitely come through in teh flavor. Another very enjoyable Weyerbacher beer!!

Bottle. Black in colour. Lots of flavour/and a big aroma, thats for sure. Lots of vanilla, chocolate, mocha, oak, licorice in the nose. palate shows all these flavours and remains quite sweet throughout. Theres a lot of flavour, but it doesn’t quite meld together, and it seems a little unbalanced at times. Not bad, i think i prefer the Old Heathen to this though.

12 oz. bottle. Jet black with a rather fleeting dark tan head, little to no lace. The oakand whisky aromas are quite evident, but there is a bit of roasted malt and some piney hop aroam as well. Quite minimal carboantion, which is no fault as far as I’m concerned. Medium body with less fullness and mouth coating feel than many Imperial Stouts. It’s a littel lighter than I expect with this style. Faintly sweet roasted malts with hints of coffee and burnt caramel are kept at bay a background bitterness that’s notiiceable as soon as it enters the mouth. Interestingly, some of the sweetness extneds well into the finish as the bitterness fades.

bottle from kramer. solid black beauty with a large brown head. smells like a makers mark bourbon chocolate candy i had at the distillery. flavor is light roasted coffee, chocolate, some vanilla and bourbon flavors are there too but subdued, dry finish of wood, cocoa, some maple syrup. a nice one that does not fall in to the trap of being over barrel flavored.

bottle. black with a light brown head. Aroma is very nice, roasted malt, chocolate, wood, and some bourbon/alcohol. Taste is about the same, with some vanilla notes, body is a tan thin on this one but still is nice...

Courtesy of The_Epeeist. Black. 1.5 cm foamy tan head. Nose of roasty burnt malt, mocha, wood, vanilla, grahams, bourbon. Same flavor followed by a vanilla coffee aftertaste. Medium/full body, smooth. The little brother of Full Sail BA Black Gold. Solid, but room for improvement.
