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.

Pours black with a bit of brown head. Aroma of malty chocolate with a touch of fruit. Flavors of chocolate and roasted coffee with that dark fruit lingering in the background. Surprisingly good imperial stout.

Fruit to roast...thin head...atop a black body. Consistent. Black cherry chocolate malt. It is not too strong at the beginning or too weak at the end. The aroma hits the nose outside the glass. oily.

Pours pitch black with a creamy chocolate head. Dark, rich malty aroma with vinous, chocolate, espresso, and caramel notes. The taste is very strong on the chocolate and roasted malts, without being overbearingly burnt tasting. Espresso, cocoa, and dark fruit background. Long, roasty finish. The mouthfeel is full, rich, slick, and oily. You know you’re drinking a stout with this beast.

Bottle. Pours nearly black with thin tan head. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, light roast. Flavor is again chocolate, coffee, roast, caramel. Palate is medium to full bodied, mild carbonation, finished bitter. Decent stuff.

Bottle. Pour is black, oily, and thick with a nice two finger head that is burnt umber in color and has good staying power. Leaves some small lacing in the glass. Aroma is huge! Filled with chocolate, hops, malt, coffee, and a bit of alcohol. Taste is warm, with a complex ballet of chocolate, malt, and coffee dancing with one another. And then it falls off into a tart hop filled dark chocolate second act that reminds me of hand made truffles. An excellent imperial that I would recommend to anyone that loves a good stout.
