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 Juancho. Drank it in Panajachel, Guatemala. Classic Dry Stout. Pours a very dark brown, with a nice tan head. Light bodied, dry, ashy and smoky. Not my favorite type of Stout, but excellent nonetheless.

This is a very dark pour with a quickly disipitating brown head. . The beer has a medium mouthfeel. Flavor is a dark chocolate and brown sugar. Not as overwhelming as some imperial stouts.

Well, this was good but not a 96 good. I did really like that it was only 8%. Sort of tired of huge ABV imp stouts that pretty much finish me for the night. Fruity nose and really roasty flavors. Not much head which was disappointing. Palate was a tad thin.

12oz bottle aged a little over a year in the closet. Pitch black color. Aroma is still roasty and pleasant. The taste is chocolaty and smooth, with a nice hop taste mid sip that fades again to cocoa water. The alcohol is very well covered by all thick malt profile. Creamier and more mellow than a typical Imperial Stout. Great beer.

Dark root beer brown, wth big dark brown head. Aroma is full of coffee, toffee, acidic and roasty. Palate is thin and a little fizzy. Bitterness ites the tongue first then opens to roasted malt, light coffee, slightly sweet, chocolate, and a little acidic bitterness. Flavor isnot as big as the beer looks. Finishes with a touch of bitterness, and goes down with a warming alcohol.

12oz bottle. dark pour with small to medium tan head. aroma of raisins, prunes, chocolate and molasses. the flavor follows form with dark fruits, roasted malts, caramel and brown sugar. nice balance with the bitter hop finish. coffee flavor seemed to come out as it warmed. the palate is thinner than most imp stouts I’ve had - not necessarily a negative, just different. good overall. K-7

12 oz. bottle - purchased at Oliver’s in Albany; pours creamy black with thin tan head; roasty, chocolate and alcohol obvious on the nose; drinks very strong and slight creamy body; a little on the thin side, but pretty damn good

12 oz. pours black with a tan head that dissipates leaving a bit o’ lace. aroma is cocoa and a bit of sweetness. mouthful is fruity with some nice complements of roasted malt and cocoa to follow. very simple and easy to drink.
