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.

motor oil black pour with very very small head and minimal lacing. definite strong notes of dark chocolate, along with coffee and some roasted malts. Flavor is disappointing, especially given the aroma. Nothing complex, very basic. Still good because it’s an impy, but a little tweaking could make this a whole lot better. still solid though.

black pour, slight tan head, chocolatey malty aromas. Roast dark chocolate dominates the flavors. a little bit watery at the finish makes it a little less than spectacular.not impressed by this offering from Wbacher.

Pours a great colour. Deep black, with hints of dark red hue near the bottom. Head is tan colour, quickly dissipates but comes back something fierce with each sip. Mouthfeel is light, creamy strong, black coffee, toffee and beef jerky. Taste is great, very filling and meaty(?) Smokey is another way to describe it. Overall very tastey. Thanks Alex!

12oz bottle @ home from the Wine Seller in Alpharetta. Pours an impenetrable black shade of brown. The head is tan, thick and with medium persistence. Wonderful taste, nice and dry, classic stout. You cannot detect one ounce of the 8%+ ABV... very well done. Weyerbacher continues to impress.

an opaque black under a small creamy brown head. aroma of dark chocolate, expresso, and hint of alcohol. a milk chocolate note takes the flavor with some dark chocolate and cookies and just a hint of hops. creamy palate.

Bottle. Black pour with a big tan head. Aroma is fruity with an underlying roastiness. Flavor is fruity, sweet and roasted with a little chocolate in there. Very interesting beer.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a cola brown head. Sweet aroma, with coffee, caramel, fruit, and a slight lactic note that I might be imagining because it doesn’t show up in the flavor. Medium body, a bit thin for a stout. Flavor is lightly roasted, lightly burnt , with coffee and caramel. A good beer, just not very impressive.

Pours black with strong-tan head (not quite Oak Aged Yeti, but it’s dark). Nose is sweet with huge chocolate presence and lots of roast. Flavor is similar with more roast. The palate is a little thin for the huge flavor and nose. Quite tasty, if a little one-sided.
