Oct 30, 2008 12 oz. bottle in trade from daknole- thank you! Served in tumber- poured blacker than two minutes to midnight in a hard late autumn storm, low carbonation, swirls of a tan cream like head on top of the liquid surface that laced to a degree. Aroma of molasses, dark chocolate, heartily roasted malt, and magical beer goodness. Hits the mouth with a high-medium body, not as wide as compared to other impy stouts but still has some weight on the tongue, dark coffee/roasted malt comes in from the start, a note of dark fruit in the middle, finish has a nice feel and lingers. Yum yum yum.

Oct 28, 2008 Pours a really nice deep black color with a thick tan head. Smooth as silk with a lot of nice malt flavor. A hint of roasted malt, but not much bitterness. Good chocolate flavor. Nice beer.

Oct 27, 2008 Weyerbacher Old Heathen 10/26/08 (bottle. Pours deep brown, with startling lack of head. Aroma of vanilla, malt, milk chocolate and hops. Palate is medium with a dry finish and light carbonation. Flavor of roasts, condensed milk, chocolate and raisins. Because the palate is so silky and minimally carbonated, the flavors come through loud and clear. However, because of the odd mouthfeel, I got the strange feeling I was drinking a flat coke. Still, the flavor of this beer is balanced so well, it manages to hold up despite the lacking palate character. Alcohol well disguised and worked into the flavor.

Oct 27, 2008 I can never ’’love’’ a stout that is too chocolaty. And this one is. It’s not bad, but I just can’t ’’love’’ it. I get licerice in the aroma and choclate malts. Pours black with a thick dark brown sugar head. The mouthfeel is smooth and not too dry with would make it better.

Oct 24, 2008 (Bottle). Very rich fruit and chocolate aroma. Black body, brown head. Intense flavor of chocolate, roastiness, some tart fruitiness. Doesn’t really transition to a distinct finish, but the flavor lingers on the taste buds for a very long time.

Oct 19, 2008 Excellent stout! Yea definitely a great winter beer. Vanilla in the nose with a nice malt character. Flavors of chocolate, coffee, and vanilla stand out. A lot of other flavors will have to try this one again sometime.
