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.

Deep black color that pours with a small 1-finger chocolate milk-colored head. Disappears pretty quickly. Dark malted nose with a little bit of bitter alcohol and sweet and sour cherry. A rich roasted coffee flavor with a hint of fruit sweetness that finishes with burnt bitterness. Definitely some caramel notes in there as well. A little bit less body than I expected, but still very good.

I had this out of a growler...Pours black with a small brown head. Chocolatey with some hops. It has a very "roasty" flavor. It was thick but not to thick. Really good stout.

Foam Rangers January meeting. Brownish black with small head. Nose is chocolate, coffee and some hops...with a bit of fruit in the back. Taste is much the same, but has cherries in it as well...which gives it added dimension. I like this.

Bottle graciously shared by xmarcnolanx and dr matt on 1/13/08. Light alcohol, not too dark, a little bit buttery. A little bit of currant & expresso. Finishes nice and clean. 7/4/8/4/15-3.8 Thanks to CanIhave4beers for giving me another opportunity to try this. Silky mud. A small but nice amount of burnt toast. Pretty good mix of dark malts. Little bit of diacetyl. Some off fruitiness. 7/4/7/3/15.5-3.65

I get this strange alcoholic rum aroma from this, along with some red fruit. Taste is red fruit, coffee and chocolate. Finish is slightly lacking with some club soda and then drops off.

Pours a dark brown/black with a small, quickly diminishing brown head. Aroma is Chocolatey espresso with a touch of hops. Nice lacing on the glass, the chocolate espresso goodness I originally noticed in the aroma is much less noticeable in the flavor of the beer. Complex palate, as the commercial description says, it’s got a very "roasty" flavor, hard to describe well the flavor, very complex with many different notes. Not a bad brew at all, I’d prefer it to be a little more strongly carbonated is all.

From a bottle. Pours a dark brown with a small tan head. Chocolate, dark malts and little to no hop aroma. taste is similiar to the smell sweet, roasty, and a hint of chocolate. Great stout by weyerbacher.

Bottle: Poured a dark dark brown with a nice head. The aroma was that of chocolate mocha. The flavor was Roasted chocolate with a hint of espresso. This was a great beer to drink during the cold months.
