Very astringent/rubbing alcohol presence, perhaps from the oak aging. Pretty thin bodied for a impy, not bad flavors, but overall this one was nothing to write home about.

12 oz draft at Frsico Grille poured deep brown almost black.. Light tan head with a great roasted and oak aroma. Nice rich body but the alcohol was very present. Should age some before consuming.

22 ounce bottle split in small tulip. Black with lasting flat brown head and lace. Roasted chocolate coffee port bourbon oak aroma. Roasted chocolate with portlike fruity oaky notes and very mild bourbon with fairly clean dry mellow finish. Full body and medium low carbo, excellent soft mouthfeel maybe because I let it warm up. Very good and drinkable, yet still complex enough to satisfy. No alcohol smell or taste. Could use a slightly bigger finish. Probably my favorite Weyerbacher yet. I was not a big fan of Heathen, maybe it needed some bourbon barrel aging. Also, it helps that its fairly fresh, or at least well-handled, a rarity on Long Island.

Very good stout from Weyerbacher. Bottle. Pours a black color with a wispy, small brown head. Aromas are ery chocolatey and full of molasses. I smell some booze as well. Flavor is pretty thick with some good chocolate, coffee and wood characteristics on the tongue. Great beer, but not quite world class.

bottle - Pours black with a thin tan head. It smells of bourbon and dark roast malt. The flavor is much the same along with a hint of vanilla. The balance is good and it has a full body. This beer is quite tasty though I tend to agree with the view that there’s just something missing to make it a truly great brew.
