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.

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.

12oz bottle from a trade a ways back. poured side by side with Heresy, the bourbon barreled version of this very beer.... pours pretty close to black with a thin wispy brown head that clings towards the sides of the glass.... aroma are of the usualy chocolate malt with a decent burnt roast componenet to it... flavors of chocolate, less roast, and def. shades of fruitiness and maybe just a tad of a sour bitter roasty finish. medium carbonation and body. could have been more full and sweet but this is generally pretty good.

Six pack from Total Wine, $9.99. Very dark, almost black pour with a small tan head. Aroma is coffee, chocolate and sweet dark malts. Flavor is silky smooth with chocolate and coffee and molasses.. Not much roastiness or bitterness, but good medium body and assertive flavors. Very drinkable and alcohol is hardly noticeable. Excellent Imperial Stout.

12oz bottle. Pours a deep, dark brown - almost black - like black coffee. The head is medium-thick and light brown in color, is short-lived, and leaves subtle lacing on the glass. The aroma is pungent and earthy with a good bit of alcohol, coffee, and some sweetness. The flavor starts with dark chocolate, lots of malt sweetness and caramel, some cakiness, dark fruit, and perhaps some licorice. At mid-palate: pleasant chocolate and sweetened coffee with fruity and very earthy hops that provide a nice, balancing bitterness. The brew finishes full and warming with notes of coffee and caramel. The mouthfeel is velvety and slippery - medium-full in body with creamy carbonation that is soft and mellow. Overall - a delicious imperial stout.

Bottle thanks to Daniel, thanks man. Pours a dark, almost black color with an initially large head that quickly goes down to a small light brown head. The aroma is nice; lots of coffee and vanilla, some dark fruits also. A nice flavor of dark fruits, some light coffee and chocolates, some milkiness, toffee and perhaps a hint of banana. The mouthfeel is very rich and creamy. A nice brew for sure. Very drinkable and no notice of alcohol, almost no warmth even.
