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

Serve in Snifter

12oz. bottle in pint glass. Pours opaque very dark brown, approaching black. Fizzy caramel tan head dissipates quickly. Aroma definitely implies imperial stout. Taste is pretty good, not the best imperial stout I’ve had but far from the worst.

toast, roasty, licorice aroma,black, brown foam, light sweetness, lightly bitter, medium body, creamy, soft carbonation, long finish,

Dark brown, almost black. Has a light brown head, mostly lasting. Aroma is dark malty, roasted and with notes of lactic acid. Sweet flavor, more dark roasted notes. light acid and moderate bitter finish. Creamy texture and soft carbonation.

Bottle: A very nice medium vast brown head on top of a black beer. The head seems to disappear slowly into a vast lacing and after a long while just some very small and thin lacings floath on top of this black beer with a brown edge. Smell toasted malts, roasted barleys, caramel, flowers, some sweets like darker fruits, prunes, strawberry, toffee, hints of brown sugars, liquorice and hops. Not the usual impy smell, still got some of the traceable impy ingredients. Taste medium bitter, toasted malted barleys, some dark chocolate, bitter toffee, grassy, light smokey, light liquorice (well balanced and mostly overpowered by the more bitter dark chocolate taste). The bitterness and overall taste is of a short period. I do even taste something like pils malts in the far distance. The aftertaste is a light mix of grassy malts with some slight hints of toasted grassy barleys. Low to medium carbo, soft mouthfeel, full body and a texture between creamy and watery. Not bad and still dig this above many other beers, but to be honest, not something special, though I was hoping that this would be a bit more special than that beer I just tasted.

Bottle. Coffee aroma of a med strength. Dark tan head with average stay power over a black fill. The thick bodied palate had a sticky, fizzy texture. And the taste was coffee stout through and through with an alcohol aftertaste. ---Rated via Beer Buddy by rsully

Bottle at Henrik, Bergen. Pours pitch black with an inch creamy tanned head. Aroma of dark roasted malts, coffee, chocolate and smoked bacon. Taste is velvety, smooth mouthfeel, hard roasted coffee,dark bitter chocolate, lovely dark malty and liquorice aftertaste.

Very easy to drink. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma is coffee with some fruit sweetness. Very slick in the mouth with a warm roasted taste. Sticky finish with notes of toffee. Good stuff.
