Commercial Description:
Formerly Weyerbacher Imperial Stout.
Rich, velvety and deliciously complex, Weyerbacher Imperial Stout is a truly distinctive winter warmer. We use seven types of malt and two varieties of hops to bring forth this big brew. Quite robust and roasty on the palate, Weyerbacher Imperial Stout has a wonderfully fruity nose and a moderately dry finish. The taste is highly complex- perhaps you'll even discern notes of expresso or chocolate.

Thanks to Daknole for this bottle. Pours black with a sweet aroma of sugar and chocolate. Very smooth mouthfeel but the flavor was of a pale malt extract and sugar. If that brew had ben just a little more roasty or hoppy, I think it would have hit the spot. Still, it’s not the worst that I have had

Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of toasted, dark chocolate and strong coffee, light herbs and dough for the hops and yeast, with cola, sour milk and bourbon. Head is creamy, brown with fair lacing and is fully diminishing. Color is black. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic then finishes lightly bittersweet and acidic. Palate is full, between creamy and syrupy and has a soft carbonation. It finishes sticky in the mouth. Though light in flavor, it was very well balanced.

Thanks daknole. Pours black with an active tan head that remains a while before finally settling down into a thick ring. Aroma is bubblegum and ash, roast tree fruits, molasses and cocoa. Flavor is similarly fruit-dominated, melon, citrus, and bubblegum, turning towards the dark fruits of roast malt, and finally finishing off with molasses and dark chocolate. Sweet throughout. Medium to full bodied, smooth, effervescent in the mouth.

Bottle courtesy of my Secret Santa. Pours black with a reddish brown head that quickly dissipates.Smells of hops and char. Tastes of coffee, bakers cocoa, oatmeal, and cherry cough syrup. Nice, boozy finish. A keeper, for sure.

This poured black in color with a fluffy light brown head of very fine bubbles that retained for quite some time. The aromas were of cotton candy, chocolate and confectionary sweets. In the mouth it was medium to full-bodied, smooth and concentrated with little carbonation. The flavors were sweet and nothing like a Stout. It was candied and sugary without much else going on.

Bottle: Jet black with a tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate and alcohol. Flavors of chocolate, malts and nuts. This is one of those stouts that i really enjoyed and thought was a quality brew, but don’t have much to say about it.

12oz bottle purchased in Fl. Dark syrup pour with minimal head. Sweet malty-molasses nose and sip. Smoky and hearty oatmeal body. Robust but simply is not in the league of other imperials. too slick and sour, hop balance is odd.

Pours out black with little head. Taste is sweet and malty also roasty. Notes of chocoolate and coffe. Nice, but very thin Imperial stout. Drinkable with no alcohol taste, dry finish. Good for a six-pack brew.
