Weyerbacher Heresy

22 oz bottle courtesy of kramer1708 Poured a beautiful black with a tan to brown huge fluffy head. Aromas were Doughy with some alc heat chocolate with some light roast malt. Dark fruits were burried deep in the aroma. Flavor was initially creamy to a silky mouthfeel with dark fruit and fig up front . Flavor was pretty sweet overall as it masked most of the alcohol heat in the aroma. Nice chocolate flavors that seemed doughy and bits of toffee and brown surgar. I did not see the oak in there as to be expected. A touch of whiskey though but not over done A very unexpected suprise! Thanks Kramer

Pours black with a small brown head. Huge chocolate aroma...a little smoky. Big fan of this one... Tastes of chocolate, bourbon, vanilla and smoke. The alcohol is very mellow. Bitter finish.

Black and evil with a short and short lasting mocha head. Aroma is burnt chocolate, vanilla, and oak. Flavor is surpisingly grapy and fruity...almost a littly too tangy. Others include starchy wood, salt, a bit of roasty malt, no hop presence or bitterness whatsoever, a tad bit of whiskey, and I guess a note or two of coffee. Mouthfeel is bit weak...very light but bubbly carbonation, kinda of watery...but it gains some body at room temp.

Sweet mellow smoky aroma. Oak and vanilla, alcohol, banana, huge esters and phenolics. Chocolate milk and malty sweetness. Very light bitterness. Dark black oily with thin tan head. Heavy oily body, with medium carbonation. Starts with big malt, syrupy and rich. Limited sweetness, but dark chocolate and coffee. Oak and vanilla, estery. Roasted grain, and bittersweet coffee. Finish is medium bitter with tangy oaken notes. Dry nutty bitter after.

delicous chocolate and coffee sexiness. nothing too wow wow wow. just a strong dark very competently made beer. this would be great with ice cream. it really makes you wanna screw

Black opaque in color with a full brown colored head that clung well to the glass. A rich aroma of raosted malt combined well with the oak whiskey aroma. Nice full roasted malt flavors blend well with the sweet malt and whiskey barrel oak taste to create a very satisfying full flavored beer. Nice full body, this is one of my favortie beers from weyerbacher that I have enjoyed ever since it came out. My only complaint is that the whiskey flavors and aroma very from batch to batch. Of course I’m sure it’s hard to find oak whiskey barrels that will contribute the same flavors from one batch of whiskey to the next. Keep up the good work weyerbacher!

a treat to be able to drink on tap, i have had it before in bottle but this was so beautifuly delicious on tap.

Very dark, with a foamy head. Very strong coffee/chocolate aroma, & the taste follows suit. The finish, however, isn’t as smooth as something this dark should be.

However, perhaps the bit of a bitter aftertaste is the only thing that belies this stout’s pleasingly high alcohol content :)
