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.

Poured a somewhat non viscus black color with a light brown head. Aroma was a bit weak but mainly of coffee. Flavor was of coffee with a nice sweet chocolate finish.

Bottle, from Knightly Spirits. Wow this one is sweet. Black pour and aromas of chocolate and some malty coffee too. Flavor was really creamy and sweet. I really enjoyed this. Very, very nice!

Black pour with brown head, aroma has mostly chocolate going for it, flavor is the same also has sort of a cappuccino thing going on. This is a very smooth Imperial Stout although the alcohol is sort of low for this style which is unfortunate because i think if this had a 10 or 11% ABV and was thicker it would be much more appetizing but it just seems to be too thin for this style, i guess that could also be a good thing though. Overall I enjoy it though.

Very good imperial stout. Smoother than what I expected, but still very good. Flavors of dark sweets and hazelnut were noticeable. 12 oz bottle.

Bottle courtesy of fishingnet. Thanks Ben. So, Weyerbacher is in Florida now. Cool. Dark brown, edging black body with a thick, robust dark mocha head. This is a good looking beer. Head has some good retention and OK lacing. Would have been a 5 if these elements were a little stronger. Coffee, chocolate, dark fruits, dark malts and licorice make up the aroma, and the flavor profile as well. Flavor tends towards the burnt roasty malts and coffee, with some coffee sweetness and a bit of astringency. Mouthfeel is good, not great for the style. Would have liked it to be a bit more hefty, but I guess maybe that wasn’t possible at this ABV. Finish is medium length, chocolate and burnt malts, then coffee. Good beer, but just that.

12oz bottle pours very dark with deep dark brown edges and assertive mocha head. The aroma is sweetness, some vanilla, earthiness, burnt malts, a bit of dark chocolate, some lesser roasted malts and mild alcohol hotness on the nose. The taste is nice and has a bit of velvetiness to it. I get roasty malts, some toffee, faint vanilla, molasses, burnt malts and faint chocolate surfacing by midway. Some burnt malts, roasty malts and molasses sweetness ride out into the finish and after taste. Pretty decent imperial stout but falls far short of the dozens of world class examples.

Very nice imperial, well rounded very complex. Tasty hints of coffee and toffee. Delicious on a cold winter day.
