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.

Bottle at Mogwai. Helsingborg, August 2011
Pours dark, almost opaque, dark beige head. Light aromas of bourbon, candied sugar, honey, vanilla and chocolate. Not very heavy at all. The taste feels balanced and the taste is good.

FunkyBrewster (1316) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - SEP 4, 2011
12 oz bottle thanks to 17thfloor. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is roasty chocolate, siome bourbony notes, vanilla and touches of nuttiness, and just a bit of dark fruits. Flavor starts with a soft roast, slowly picking up a more aggressive chocolate and dark fruit notes. Finishes still fruity with some barrel oaky notes, a touch of vanilla. Medium to medium full body and a soft carbonation. Definitely not up to par with bb imperial stouts, but some nice things going on.

Chipalsa (483) - Florida, USA - SEP 3, 2011
Pours like engine oil with little to no head. Smells smoky and full of bourbon scents with hints of vanilla and cherries. The taste is smooth and rich, starting off with a mouthful of whiskey and roasted malts, spicy almost. Undertones of woody vanilla are before a lingering bitter finish. This one is not the best, but certainly worth the wait every year.

williamstome (411) - Somerville, Massachusetts, USA - SEP 2, 2011
Opaque black, nice brown head (gone soon tho). Aroma is raisins, coconut, chocolate; malty, thick and enticing. Flavor: Dark chocolate, alcohol, bourbon whiskey, roastiness, and oak, with a roasty finish. Medium bodied, with a thick sticky finish. It would be Heresy indeed to say this is not one damn good beer.

ROGUE (1315) - Newark, Delaware, USA - SEP 2, 2011
12oz bottle. Pours a deep inky black color with a two finger tan head that falls slowly leaving a thick lace. Big aroma, burnt fruits, dark chocolate, and licorice with notes of oak and alcohol. Taste has most of the same as the nose with dark chocolate and a roasted malt flavor being the strongest. The alcohol only showed slightly after it warmed a bit. Mouthfeel was good and creamy with a full body.
